Hmm. More "theories" to consider.
""Many scientists posit that this new variant is related to the HIV epidemic hitting South Africa. One out of five adults in the country have HIV/AIDS, with over 7.7 million people living with the condition. Given the large number of mutations it has accumulated, apparently in a single burst,» director Francois Balloux, of the University College of London Genetics Institute says, «it likely evolved during a chronic infection of an immunocompromised person, possibly in an untreated HIV/AIDS patient. ""
That line made me sit up and take notice ""One out of five adults in the country have HIV/AIDS, with over 7.7 million people living with the condition."" Were you aware of that? I certainly don't remember the health authorities ever flagging up that information, not our health service or National Broadcaster, and certainly not the Government Health Ministers from any administration. ... Still they come.
