Still unexplained
The hunt for the origins of Covid-19 has for the past four years been a tangled web of politics, power struggles, and international finger-pointing.
In a recent development, formula one champion Lewis Hamilton has stated that he has been self-isolating for more than a week after coming in contact with people who later tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Notably, Hamilton was at a charity event in London on 4 March in which actor Idris Elba and Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, the wife of Canadian Prime Minister were also in attendance. Both were later tested positive for COVID-19.
As a precautionary measure, Hamilton has put himself in self-isolation.

“I did speak to my doctor and double-checked if I needed to take a test but, the truth is there is a limited amount of tests available and there are people who need it more than I do,” Hamilton stated.
Meanwhile, the entire sporting world has come to a standstill in view of the threat posed by the spread of the coronavirus.
