Breaking news about Coronavirus is coming one after another! While the number of people infected with the Kovid 19 virus worldwide exceeds 81,000, the number of people who died due to the epidemic reached 2,762. There are those who have died due to coronavirus in China, Hong Kong, Iran, South Korea, Italy, Japan, France and Taiwan. World-renowned English mathematician and astrobiologist Chandra Wickramasinghe made an interesting claim as well as last-minute explanations about the source of the coronavirus.
Wickramasinghe, a prominent mathematician, astronomer, and astrobiologist, told the Daily Express: “The fast and sudden epidemic may be connected to space. Localization is the strongest part of this situation. In October last year, a comet fragment fell to the North-east side of China. We think that infectious coronavirus particles may be embedded in this piece. We consider the possibility that virus-like particles that can cause infection are prevalent in space, transported by comets, and so they may have come to our planet. Wickramasinghe reiterated that there may be living structures in the sky.
Case numbers at countries
According to the data collected from the authorized health institutions and local press of the countries reported to be seen as Kovid-19, the number of cases are listed as follows;
Japan 727, South Korea 156, Singapore 85, Thailand 35, Malaysia 22, Australia 17, Vietnam 16, Germany 16, USA 15, France 12, England 9, United Arab Emirates 9, Canada 8, Iran 5, Italy 3, India 3, Philippines 3, Russia 2, Spain 2, Nepal 1, Sri Lanka 1, Cambodia 1, Belgium 1, Sweden 1, Finland 1, Egypt 1.
The protein enzyme “Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2” (ACE2) was found to function as a “lock” that opens the cell door to the coronavirus. The researchers noted that the same enzyme also plays a receptive role for the coronavirus, which causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), but Kovid-19 binds the cell 10 to 20 times more tightly than SARS.
Virus laboratory established in Wahan in 2017
It turned out that a virus laboratory was established in 2017 in Wuhan, China, where the Corona virus first appeared.
Three years ago, scientists who opposed the establishment of the laboratory pointed out the danger and made statements about the possibility of “viruses that have been examined to leak out of the laboratory and get out of control”. However, Chinese microbiologists allegedly did not heed the warnings, saying they were an authorized ‘elite squad’ to grapple with the world’s greatest biological threats.
Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing Director of Pathogenic Microbiology and Immunology Laboratory, George Gao, said in 2017 that the laboratory will “offer more opportunities for Chinese researchers and our contribution to BSL – 4-level pathogens will benefit the world”.
Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory was the first laboratory established in China. The laboratory was certified in January by the China National Conformity Assessment Accreditation Service (CNAS) for meeting BSL-4 standards and criteria.
CNAS examined the laboratory’s infrastructure, equipment and management, and a CNAS representative asked the Ministry of Health to approve. A representative from the ministry said that lab workers and Ministry supervisors will act slowly and carefully. After this news came to the fore again, the claim was made in social media that the corona virus appeared in the laboratory in China.
