The problem of virus tracing requires in-depth study by scientists from all over the world

a press conference on the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on the 23rd, Shi 1, a researcher at the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the problem of virus tracing requires in-depth study by scientists from all over the world. At present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic is raging around the world, I hope that the world will focus on the focus of the epidemic prevention and control.The same day a reporter asked: Recently, foreign media reports, the U.S. military restarted a chemical and biological research base in Fort Detrick, Maryland, many local people got the news and began to flee. Some people in the United States believe that there is a number of evidence that Fort Detrik Bio-Chemical Research Base was urgently closed last August for very strange reasons, suspected that the base may be the source of the new coronavirus, and in the United States caused the autumn and winter influenza pandemic, after the virus through the U.S. military to participate in the Wuhan Military Games in China after the mutation, how to see this problem?“ We have taken note of the information on the Internet, and there are suspicions in the United States that the Fort Detrick Biopic Research Base may be the source of the new coronavirus. The U.S. has not responded publicly to this, and we have no way of making a judgment. Shi said.Shi said that the virus traceability itself is a scientific problem, the main purpose is to prevent the re-occurrence of similar outbreaks to human society. At present, scientists all over the world are carrying out research on the source of the virus, and put forward many academic views and assumptions about the source of the new coronavirus. Chinese scientists are also seriously carrying out relevant research, in order to find the origin of the new coronavirus at an early time, targeted prevention and control, to provide scientific basis.Shi pointed out that from the whole process of viral tracing scientific research, this is a scientific problem, it takes a long time and there is uncertainty, need to gather a lot of biological information and epidemiological evidence into a mutually confirmed chain of evidence, in order to really complete the task.He also pointed out that many diseases in human history, such as AIDS, SARS and so on, the exploration of its origin after more than a decade or even decades of research, although progress has been made, but the results of the study is only speculative, has not yet come to a final answer, "research work continues to this day."Shi said that the current outbreak of neo-crown pneumonia is raging around the world, I hope that the world will focus their energy and attention on the prevention and control of the epidemic, the scientific problem of virus tracing requires scientists from all over the world to study in depth.
