Chinese researchers have said they had found a batch of new coronaviruses in bats including one that may be the second-closest yet, genetically, to the COVID-19 virus. 9News

According to the researchers, their discoveries in a single, small region of Yunnan province in southwesternshow just how many coronaviruses there are in bats and how many have the potential to spread to people.

"In total, we assembled 24 novel coronavirus genomes from different bat species, including four SARS-CoV-2 like coronaviruses," the researchers wrote in a report published in the journal Cell. It would be the closest strain to SARS-CoV-2 except for genetic differences on the spike protein, the knob-like structure that the virus uses when attaching to cells, they said.

Researchers are trying to find where SARS-CoV-2 came from. Although a bat is a likely source, it's possible the virus infected an intermediary animal. The SARS virus that caused an outbreak in 2002-2004 was tracked to an animal called a civet cat.

Great there still playing with genetic sequencing, but this one definitely didn’t start in a lab . Seriously the ccp needs a big boot in the ass

That is a Liar!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 lies lies &, more lies..🤦‍♂️ when will you guys stop... seriously...⚡⚡⚡

You only need to read some of these pathetic comments in order to see how effective western govt propaganda affects the SIMPLE mind

Looks delicious.

And I bet they eat them too.

Corona viruses seem to be like buses. None when you want one then suddenly 3 come along after just after you've left the bus stop.

Great just the people to be looking for new variants?!

So when are they sharing this with the rest of the world

My arse. They’re still trying to push this on bats so people turn their focus away from the Wuhan lab

Jen__West What a coincidence. Not buying it China.

Chinese need to stop eating that animal or else we will get another pandemic.

yeah yeah yeah wuhansars not made in wuhanlabs according to Channel 9 and one party state

Cool another bioweapon

In Wuhan lab🙄

‘Found’? Or inoculated in new batch of bats and developed new virus strains?

We suspected something, they just tasted funny.

So cute….. Would love to get one for the kids…..

Just not quite as close as the one Dr Fauci was funded.

Well that’s convenient

As if you would believe them seriously

China 🤷‍♂️wouldn’t put anything past them now.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Why have you used a photo of a Vampire bat? Another mainstream media creating maximum fear whilst deceiving the public. 👍

Every century human beings got different diseases. And human is not eternal life as same as all animals, don't be too silly wear the mask

Hahaha they really sweating over there

And they taste like chicken 🐓

Probably found it in the test tube next to covid 19 test tube in the lab

They are trying to convince the world that covid19 didnt leak from wuhan lab.

Why the fuck are they s screw around with bats and shit still bat stew is 50% discontinued at the moment get it cheap why you still can

Dorothy23897725 You believe Chinese researchers? Chinese government tells researchers what to say!!

Great!🙄

Better put it on the menu in the Wuhan wet market!

😱

'Found' all of a sudden

LOL

Best let VictorianCHO know so he can shut Victoria down

Can you fucking not
