COVID-19, the virus that spread across the world, causing half a million deaths and changing lives,

first began in a food market in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

That's what we've been told, but did it?

China no longer believes that the virus started in the market.

They've ruled that out.

They believe that somebody probably introduced it to the market after the virus had been

spreading for a while in Wuhan.

Scientists and government agencies are now seriously considering an alternative story.

The mine shaft virus could actually have morphed.

People think that it's a bit of a conspiracy theory that it might have leaked from a person in the lab.

It's very difficult to be able to kind of rule out anything.
