Oxford University expert: The new crown virus is a dormant virus activated by environmental conditions.

"We may be seeing a dormant virus activated by environmental conditions.
" the Daily Telegraph quoted an Oxford University expert as saying in an exclusive report on the 5th that the new coronavirus may be dormant around the world and then begin to appear when environmental conditions are right, and it does not originate in China.
report mentions that the expert who published this view is Dr. Tom Jefferson, a senior associate tutor at Oxford University's Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine and a visiting professor at Newcastle University.
he also noted growing evidence that the new coronavirus existed elsewhere before it appeared in Asia.
last week, Spanish virologists announced that they had found the new coronavirus in wastewater samples taken in March 2019, earlier than when the virus was first detected and reported in China, Italian scientists also detected the new coronavirus from wastewater samples from Milan and Turin in December, and Brazilian experts also detected the new coronavirus in sewer water samples in November.
Jefferson argues that many viruses are dormant around the world and that when conditions are favorable , they appear , and that means they can disappear quickly .
"Where's the SARS virus? It just disappeared.
Jefferson said, so we have to think about these things, and we need to start studying the ecology of the virus and understand its origins and mutations.
", "I think the virus is already here, and 'here' means everywhere."
we may be seeing a dormant virus activated by environmental conditions.
" Jefferson, for example, was found in the Falkland Islands (disputed island, Argentina's Malvinas Islands) earlier in February. There was a cruise ship from South Georgia to Buenos Aires, Argentina, when all passengers were screened for the virus, but on the 8th day, the first confirmed case was found in them.
"Is the virus activated after the prepared food is thawed?" Jefferson said, "Strange things happened during the Spanish flu."
1918, about 30 percent of Western Samoa's population died of the Spanish flu, but they had no contact with the outside world.
"The explanation for this is that these viruses are not spreading everywhere, they're here, and some conditions activate them, maybe human density or environmental conditions, and that's what we should study," Jefferson said.
", he believes, the new coronavirus could be transmitted through sewer systems or public health rooms, not just by droplets from talking, coughing or sneezing.
, according to the Daily Telegraph, Jefferson is working with a number of experts to conduct a similar in-depth study into why so many outbreaks are occurring in food factories and meat processing plants to find new and major routes of transmission.
they believe that public health facilities, coupled with the cold environment, tend to allow the virus to grow. "There is considerable evidence that there is a lot of viruses in sewage everywhere, and there is growing evidence that the virus can be transmitted through feces,"
Jefferson said.
the highest concentration of the virus in sewage at 4 degrees Celsius, which is the ideal temperature, the virus can be stable and may be activated. the temperature of a
meat processing plant is usually 4 degrees Celsius.
" Jefferson also believes that the current concentration infection seis-infected meat processing plants are associated with the failure to wash hands properly, and that the cases need to be further investigated and studied.
