LIVE FROM WATTS UP WITH THAT :
This is somewhat at odds with the mainstream assertion that it originated in bats in WUHAN, China. Given this disparity, they went to great lengths to produce a timely research paper to back up their argument.

If you are interested in Covid from Space this is your summer reading. While it is preceded by a variety of other articles, in fact many hundreds if you include the wider literature of Panspermia, these two publication are the starting point for truly understanding Covid. They tell us more about the disease in one fell swoop than all the other global science pubs since January 2020 combined

The conventional belief in epidemiology is that epidemics start and end with animals and humans on Earth.... assumptions have been challenged for 40 years but the idea of a primary significant non-human or non-animal reservoir has been difficult for orthodox science to embrace.
Hoyle and Wickramasinghe’s 1979 provocative classic Diseases from Space cited many examples of pandemics where person-to- person infection as the sole mode of origin and spread was shown difficult to defend [1,2].
The sudden onset of a pandemic, the speed and patchiness of its spread, and sudden termination were factors that were satisfactorily interpreted by atmospheric transfers of a viral or bacterial pathogen.
The 1979 analysis documented the distribution of influenza in the 1977 H1N1 pandemic in boarding houses inschools in England and Wales; and the study of earlier epidemics as were reported in medical as well as media sources were also discussed [1].
An atmospheric mode of transport and transfer of the influenza virus was clearly described as the most parsimonious and arguably the only suitable interpretation of all the facts. In the 1918/1919 influenza pandemic the incidence was found to be both temporally and geographically patchy, strongly suggesting an atmospheric reservoir, albeit a transient one. For instance, communities in the most remote Alaskan regions succumbed to the virus -- as did ships at sea. Passenger liners arriving in Australia following weeks sailing in the high seas recorded attack rates that varied between four and forty-three percent.
