ATL Virus-Infected Japanese, Africans, etc.
There is a rare cancer of the immune system's T-cells caused by human T cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), which was discovered by a Japanese medical scientist, etc. in 1976.
HTLV-1 was the first human retrovirus discovered (1979). HTLV-1 predominantly affects T lymphocytes. HTLV retroviruses are RNA viruses that use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to produce DNA from RNA.
(https://www.scorgloballifeamericas.com/en-us/knowledgecenter/human-t-lymphotropic-virus-type-1)It is known that there are specific areas in the world with many HTLV-1 infected people such as Japan, Central and South Americas, and Africa. Therefore, this virus HTLV-1 (or the ATL virus) is regraded by some Japanese as one of key elements that would reveal the origin of the Japanese people who are originally different from Chinese and Koreans and other Asian people. Indeed, it is estimated that there are about 800,000 Japanese infected by HTLV-1.
The above map shows how and when the mankind spread from Africa to Europe and Asia and further to Americas and Australia.
It tells that the mankind was established in the middle Africa 200,000 years ago; moved north to the Middle East and south to South Africa about 100,000 years ago; split between those going to the Wast (the Mediterranean) and the North and those going further east (through Iran) to the Chinese Continent and those going south to the Indian Sub-Continent between 50,000 to 70,000 years ago; reached Papua New Guinea and Australia 40,000 years ago, or arrived at North America between 12,000 years and 40,000 years ago and moved to South America 13,000 years ago. And the areas circled in the map are those where the ATL viruses are found.
So, the areas where the ATL viruses are found are Central and West Africa, South India, Papua New Guinea, the Caribbean ocean area (due to forced immigration from Africa 600 years ago), the north of South America, and Japan.
It tells that original Japanese people who came to the Japanese archipelago when the Japanese islands were connected the Asian Continent 20,000 years ago were carrying the ATL viruses from Africa through generations from their ancestors who must have been part of the group of the mankind, including ancestors of original Papua New Guinea and Australia people and American Indians.
However, currently no other East Asians, such as Chinese and Koreans, do not carry this trait as so many tribes came and occupied the Chinese continent and surrounding areas. Only part of Japanese, in East Asia, still keep this trait that must have been generated in Africa between 100,000 years and 200,000 years ago.
In other words, there is a strong possibility that ancestors of Japanese, part of Hindus, American Indians, and original Papua New Guinea and Australia people once together left Africa and the Middle East, although fates of their descendants have varied so vastly.
In this context, we must think again that it is natural and reasonable that the Son of the God, Christ Jesus, appeared at the place, Palestine, where major groups of the mankind split between those who became later Europeans and Asians.
And, further in this context, Christ Jesus maybe was infected by ATL viruses.
Other analysis of the effect of HTLV-1 viruses is as follows:
The lifetime risk of developing adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) has been estimated at 2%-6% among HTLV-1 carriers. The latency period is approximately 20 to 40 years after infection, with a slightly higher risk among HTLV-1 infected males.
(https://www.scorgloballifeamericas.com/en-us/knowledgecenter/human-t-lymphotropic-virus-type-1)Anyway, we should not pay little attention to viruses, since some viruses are deeply rooted in the bodies of some members of the mankind with long historical relationship.
And, of course, we should find the real infectious route of corona-viruses for future study of the relationship between viruses and men.

Luke 5 King James Version (KJV)
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
