For the better part of a year, from the beginning of the pandemic, many have wondered the origins of COVID-19. Did it come from animals such as bats in a wet market, or was this a virus in a laboratory that escaped, whether accidentally or not?

Dr. Richard Londraville is a biologist from the University of Akron, and he took the listeners into the lab on the Ray Horner Morning Show and cleared up some questions.
