Russia media reports that the UK is responsible for the outbreak of the coronavirus. According to daily mail online this recent claim was made during “The Big Game roundtable discussion on Covid-19” on Russia’s Channel 1 by Igor Nikulin, a microbiologist who allegedly worked at the UN.Some of these claims include that
- · The British 'smeared something in Wuhan' in the same way that they 'smear[ed] nerve agent on Skripal's door handle';
- · The pandemic was intentionally timed with Britain's exit from the EU to enhance its global status
- · Porton Down, the Salisbury laboratory at the centre of the Skripal Novichok scandal, 'patented a vaccine' for Covid-19;
- · 'There is a special operation ongoing' related to the virus whose 'players are the British-American Alliance'
- · Covid-19 was accidentally created as a bioweapon in 2015 at the Pirbright Institute in Woking
- · Coronavirus is an attempt to gain access to Chinese markets, because 'Churchill…said England doesn't have friends or enemies… only business interests'.
There are several conspiratory theories flying around the internet on how this virus started and where it came from . Earlier last week,Iran’s former President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared COVID-19 to be a bioweapon from a military laboratory although he did not give more details why he thought the virus was created in the lab .
President trumps also created a storm by calling the virus chinees Virus
However,WHO has warned against stigmatisation
When talking about #COVID19, certain words & language may have a negative meaning for people and fuel stigmatizing attitudes https://t.co/yShiCMfYF3 #coronavirus pic.twitter.com/d54qL4LY2H

Coronavirus is a Bioweapon : Iran’s former President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed
The daily mail online also reports that earlier this year, the ultra-nationalist Svobodnaya Pressa news website published an article titled: 'Coronavirus - Patent Found That Proves British Trace in 2019-nCoV: The British had a hand in a new dangerous pneumonia'.
The article has been viewed almost 40,000 times. The author of the article, Alexander Sitnikov, discusses a coronavirus patent given to the Pirbright Institute in 2015. The Pirbright Institute, formerly known as the Institute for Animal Health, in Woking, studied the patent with the aim of developing a medicine for treating diseases in poultry.
It is thus important to know that these are just claims and none has be well substantiated, and it is likely the world may never know what actually happened and the true origin of this virus . All efforts all this stage would be to find solutions/ vaccines to treat people of this deadly virus
