The 34-year-old took to his Twitter account to share an article by thebulletin.org. The particular piece discussed the possible origin of the deadly coronavirus. While a popular theory suggests that the virus originated from bats and then jumped to humans, the article also shares a different side of the story. Peter Daszak, the president of the EcoHealth Alliance of New York could come under the scanner, if reports are to be believed.
