As politicians get hold of science, this kind of wishful hand-waving occurs as they claim containment.

Make note of who and where these reports come from now as the epidemic increases, we will know to WHO not to listen.

BTW since
The common ancestor of the SARS E2 spike protein also gave rise to the rat sialodacryoadenitis coronavirus spike protein. It would appear that SARS E2 spike protein and the avian infectious bronchitis viruses and feline infectious peritonitis virus and canine cornavirus as well as the porcine respiratory virus were derived from a common ancestor.
is it not true that animals like birds, rats, cats, and dogs could continue to carry the virus back into the human population later, right?

One speculation is that the SARS virus naturally occurs in some animal that was brought to market to be eaten in Guangdong some time recently.
