Hey kids! π Have you ever wondered where COVID-19 came from? Well, there’s a big discussion between China and the United States about this.
Recently, China’s National Health Commission (NHC) spoke out. They were upset because an article from the U.S. government blamed a research lab in Wuhan, a city in China, for starting the pandemic.
The NHC says these claims aren’t based on real science π§ͺ. They believe the evidence is made up and that the U.S. is trying to turn a scientific question into a political argument.
They also mentioned that some clues suggest COVID-19 might have appeared in the U.S. even before it was found in China. So, they think scientists should look everywhere to find the true origin of the virus.
The NHC is asking the U.S. to stop blaming others and to work together to understand and fight the virus ππ€.
It’s important to remember that solving big problems like a pandemic takes teamwork and trust. Maybe one day, with everyone working together, we’ll find all the answers! π
