“I’m very surprised by that. I hope it goes away. But do people really believe that stuff? We’re really going to have to get educated about this over the next year and understand…how does it change peoples’ behaviour and how should we have minimized this?”
There has been plethora of theories making the rounds on social media concerning the deadly virus, its origin and how it has evolved.
