Coronaviruses Similar to The COVID-19 One Have Just Been Found in Pangolins
A search for the ‘missing link’ in the chain of the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has uncovered two close cousins of the new coronavirus in shipments of pangolins being smuggled into China...
In addition to these specimens from the Guangxi operation, the team analysed pangolin scales, skin swabs, and unspecified tissues from a separate customs centre in Guangzhou, picked up in early 2019.
Taken together, the mix of newly sequenced coronavirus genomes are all 85.5 to 92.4 percent similar to SARS-CoV-2, and represent two lines of related virus. One of those lines even has a ‘haircut’ that resembles that of the COVID-19 virus, with remarkably similar receptor-binding spikes jutting from their surfaces.
The results might not be the smoking gun we’re hoping for, as the search for the connection between the coronavirus’s reservoir and the first humans to be infected continues.
Still, it’s a wake-up call we desperately need. All those animals seized by customs were destined for live animal markets somewhere in China.

3 babies in China may have been infected with coronavirus in the womb
Three babies in China may have contracted the new coronavirus in the womb shortly before birth, according to two new reports.
However, experts say the evidence in these cases is inconclusive and does not prove the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, can pass from mother to child during pregnancy.
