Another corona epidemic may break out in China..!?

Dr. Shi Zhengli, a prominent Chinese virologist, has warned that there is a possibility of another coronavirus epidemic in the future. He said the world should be prepared keeping in mind the experiences of Covid-19. Renowned Chinese virologist Dr. Shi Zhengli has warned that another coronavirus epidemic is likely to break out in China. She also studies viruses of animal origin extensively. That's why everyone calls her 'Bat Woman'.
She issued warnings that a new coronavirus is likely to emerge. Learning lessons from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, he called for the entire world to be prepared. A study by Dr. Shi's team at the wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) assessed the risk of transmission of 40 different coronavirus strains from animals to humans. It is noteworthy that they found half of these to be extremely dangerous. Six of these have already caused disease in humans, and three more have the potential to infect humans or other animal species, according to multiple hong kong dailies.
These studies make it clear that the emergence of a deadly disease in the future is almost certain, and that there is a possibility of another coronavirus outbreak. This assessment is based on a comprehensive analysis of viral characteristics taking into account factors such as population dynamics, genetic diversity, host species, historical events of zoonosis, etc. transmission of diseases from animals to humans. Although these were published in the english journal Emerging Microbes and Infections in July, this dangerous study has recently been widely shared on Chinese social media. Chinese virologists have refrained from commenting on Dr. Shi's latest research because of sensitivities surrounding her work at the controversial wuhan Institute.
