GENEVA – A team of international and Chinese scientists is poised to report on its joint search for the origins of the coronavirus that sparked a pandemic after it was first detected in China over a year ago — with four theories being considered, and one the clear frontrunner, according to experts.

The lengthy report is being published after months of wrangling, notably between U.S. and Chinese governments, over how the outbreak emerged, while scientists try to keep their focus on a so-far fruitless search for the origin of a microbe that has killed over 2.7 million people and stifled economies worldwide.

Japan's cherry blossoms bloom early, climate change likely cause, scientists say

TOKYO - Japan's famous cherry blossoms have reached their flowery peak in many places earlier this year than at any time since formal records started being kept nearly 70 years ago, with experts saying climate change is the likely cause.Japan’s favorite flower, called "sakura," used to reach their peak bloom in April, just as the country celebrates the start of its new school and business year. Yet that date has been creeping earlier and now most years the blossoms are largely gone before the first day of school.This year peak bloom was reached on March 26 in the ancient capital of Kyoto, the earliest since the Japan Meteorological Agency started collecting the data in 1953 and 10 days ahead of the 30-year average.

Coronavirus origin unclear, most probable indirect source is bats: WHO-China study

NEW DELHI: A report from an international team tasked with finding the origin of SARS-COV2 said that the origin of the novel coronavirus was unclear, but the most probable reservoir source of the virus was bats and that it indirectly spilled over to cause disease in humans somewhere in November 2019.While the report was inconclusive and that bats were most likely to have been the reservoir host for the virus, it said that since there is usually limited close contact between humans and bats, it is likely that transmission of the virus to humans happened through an intermediate host.A reservoir is the primary host that harbours the virus but shows no ill effects, while the intermediate host is another animal species more likely to be handled
