All three viruses are believed to have their origins in bats.GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas, Aug. We’ve debunked a number of claims - like the Facebook post in question - that suggested the new virus was artificially made in Wuhan or elsewhere.Īccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the new coronavirus is a "beta coronavirus" similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, and Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS. What’s more, there’s no evidence that the novel 2019 coronavirus was created in a lab. The company does have a blue-and-white logo that closely resembles the red-and-white logo from the fictional lab in "Resident Evil."

The image says that the fictional lab responsible for the virus in the "Resident Evil" franchise has the same logo as a real-life lab in Wuhan, where the coronavirus was first detected. An image making the rounds on social media draws a supposedly eerie connection between the outbreak of the coronavirus in Wuhan, China, and the fictional virus that triggers the dangerous mutations at the center of the plot for "Resident Evil," a Japanese video-game series.
