Proposed theory on the origins of COVID-19
The COVID-19 lab leak theory
Or lab leak hypothesis
Is the idea that SARS-CoV-2
The virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic
Came from a laboratory.The claim is highly controversial; most scientists believe the virus spilled into human populations through natural zoonosis
Similar to the SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV outbreaks
And consistent with other pandemics in human history.Available evidence suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was originally harbored by bats
And spread to humans from infected wild animals
Functioning as an intermediate host
At the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan
In December 2019.Several candidate animal species have been identified as potential intermediate hosts.There is no evidence SARS-CoV-2 existed in any laboratory prior to the pandemic

Theory regarding recurring generational cycles in American history
The Strauss–Howe generational theory
Devised by William Strauss and Neil Howe
Describes a theorized recurring generation cycle in American history and Western history.According to the theory
Historical events are associated with recurring generational personas (archetypes).Each generational persona unleashes a new era lasting around 20–25 years
And economic climate (mood) exists.They are part of a larger cyclical saeculum.The theory states that a crisis recurs in American history after every saeculum
Which is followed by a recovery (high).During this recovery
Institutions and communitarian values are strong.Ultimately
Succeeding generational archetypes attack and weaken institutions in the name of autonomy and individualism
Which eventually creates a tumultuous political environment that ripens conditions for another crisis.
