This morning we are talking about the long-awaited report from the World Health Organization on the origin of Covid-19. This report of experts commissioned by the WHO to elucidate the origins of this pandemic is to be unveiled on Tuesday, March 30. So what do the experts who went to investigate in China tell us?
Hold on tight, we have a new suspect implicated in the transmission of the coronavirus to humans, it’s the badger-ferret. I was not aware of the existence of this animal which, as its name suggests, looks like a badger but also a ferret. Physically, he is a bit weak: between 33 and 43 centimeters and no more than three kilos.
If you are very upset because Mr. Macron may be speaking soon, so you can curse on the badger-ferret, it won’t hurt you. And all the others implicated … Do not forget the bat also since it is she who would have infected an animal which would then have transmitted it to humans. I say an animal because in addition to the badger-ferret, the experts still gave an expanded list of potential responsible animals. So the badger-ferret, but also maybe always the pangolin, and maybe the rabbit, and maybe the mink. At this level, it is a survey for 30 million friends.
