There's been a lot of accounts of COVID-19 jumping to species like Deer, or captive animals in Zoos. To my very layman eyes that says that inter-species jumping is very common. (I think?)
- jessaustin 5y agoThat seems like a good question? If there were two jumps, maybe there were twenty. At that point we've eliminated the possibility of accidental lab leaks, but not the possibility of lab leaks altogether.
