Mysteries about COVID

Dr. Laura Kahn “unpacks the mysteries of COVID-19’s origins,” which refers to scientific uncertainties about exactly how SARS-CoV-2 first infected humans, a real and ongoing topic in epidemiology. Scientists worldwide continue to debate the details of the pandemic’s early evolution because direct evidence from the first weeks of late 2019 remains limited. Investigators consider various possibilities, including natural spillover from wildlife and other hypotheses, but no definitive conclusion has been reached. While Dr. Kahn’s book contributes to this scholarly discussion, it does not promote fringe conspiracy narratives, so please join us at our October meeting.
