    Hi Michelle Great and very timely report on penguins and viruses. While we are getting overwhelmed with expert opinion on coronavirus, I thought you might not be aware of... but could be interested in a very controversial paper just out from a group of astronomers that among other things has found viruses like Covid 19 could arrive from space and land in patches. They believe birds are the first to get infected as the virus falls through the atmosphere ...rather than passing on a mutated version. Interesting angle but Norman Swan is not prepared to go out on a limb with it just yet. Michael TroySenior Reporter/Producer International and Network DeskP*+61M*+61E

    Clever... Points for being a testable hypothesis too.
