Dr. Quay speaks with Fox News about origin of COVID-19

As we enter the new year, ongoing efforts to understand and combat COVID-19 persist, with researchers uncovering new insights into the virus’s origins.

Dr. Quay discusses recent findings regarding the initial spread of the virus, highlighting a genetic cluster identified in patients from a military hospital in Wuhan, China, suggesting transmission within a confined group.

By tracing the movement of patients to nearby subway stations and ultimately to the airport, Dr. Quay suggests Line Two of Wuhan’s subway system as a crucial transmission route. This information not only sheds light on the virus’s early spread but also aids in predicting its future mutations, guiding the development of effective therapeutics.

As debates persist regarding whether the virus originated in a seafood market or a laboratory, ongoing research aims to provide clarity in the coming months.
