BATTLE FOR WORLD | April 19, 2020: Breaking research by the University of Cambridge with a team of international scientists studying the mutations of the corona virus where they were able to map its path and determine its AGE.

It was found that the virus in the United States is OLDER than the Wuhan virus, and the Wuhan virus is older than the European virus. This suggests that the route of transmission was from the United States, to Asia, then to Europe.

"The Cambridge team recently made international headlines with a paper about the virus’ evolutionary history. Published in PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) this month (April), it found that most of the strains sampled in the United States and Australia were genetically closer to a bat virus than the strains prevalent in patients from across East Asia, and the major European type of the virus was a descendant of the East Asian variant. ...The Cambridge study also raised some new questions. The first strain isolated and reported by Chinese scientists was actually younger than the original type that caused the outbreak. Why the United States had more strains genetically closer to a bat virus than Wuhan has prompted heated debates in the research community," the South China Morning Post reported. And the research team are still trying to pinpoint the location of patient zero.

"One explanation, according to the University of Cambridge geneticist Peter Forster, was that the original strain may have first emerged in China, but was more adaptive to the American population and environment," the article notes.
