Coronavirus has started creating chaos all over the world one more time with a new covid variant, shortage of vaccines, and a sudden surge in the number of infections. Meanwhile, another frightening news has come out. Another virus that is said to be more dangerous than corona is expected in Wuhan labs in China.
With the beginning of the year 2020, began the global pandemic of coronavirus. Millions of people were infected with this deadly virus worldwide and losing their lives to this incurable disease. The vaccination was not yet developed and people were fighting the virus bare-handed.
After a terrible year, people had many expectations from 2021. But with the new year, new coronavirus mutants have started wreaking havoc all over again. Fresh cases of Covid-19 are reported every day, surpassing all previous records in several countries. Though we have a vaccine against Covid-19 still, lakhs of people are infected.
Now, there are updates that there might be another virus that is said to be more dangerous than Covid-19, which may disrupt the world soon.
A team of researchers has claimed that many types of new and threatening viruses still exist in the labs of Wuhan, China, which is based on genetic data of rice and cotton from agricultural laboratories in some cities of China including Wuhan.
If these assumptions by scientists are true then the world is likely to face more trouble from China. The viruses existing in the labs of Wuhan and other cities can be more dangerous as agricultural laboratories don’t have strong security systems like medical research centres or virology labs.
According to the research published in a preprint server named ArXiv, scientists allege that there are many dangerous viruses in agricultural labs in cities of China that are fatal to humans.
‘If it is not controlled safely, then the world is in for a bigger problem’ says the research report.
Scientists have taken data from 2017 to 2020 genetic sequence of rice and cotton present in agricultural laboratories and have come to a shocking conclusion.

The data is full of new viruses that belong to MERS and SARS. All these genetic data were extracted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the same lab suspected by people to spread the coronavirus by mistake.
The report published by ArXiv is not yet considered by any academic journal or any expert. However, it has surely made it to the news because of its shocking revelation.
