A group of scientists from China and Australia found the RmYN02 coronavirus in bats, which is similar in structural properties to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, TASS reported, citing SCMP.
This is evidence of the natural origin of the new coronavirus that caused the pandemic. Samples of RmYN02 were collected in the southwestern Chinese province of Yunnan between May and October last year. Pathogens similar to amino acids have been found in SARS-CoV-2 in its structure.
Scientists previously considered these amino acids to be unusual. “The results of our research tell us that these amino acid components, which previously seemed quite atypical, can occur naturally in beta-coronaviruses,” said Professor Sha Weifang of the First Medical University in Shandong.
“This provides strong evidence against the laboratory origin hypothesis of the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus,” he added. Western media and politicians, including United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have suggested that the new coronavirus has spread worldwide since its launch from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. It was from Wuhan that the coronavirus pandemic began, which quickly spread throughout the world. There are currently more than 4,357,000 people infected with the new coronavirus worldwide, most of them in the United States, more than 1.4 million.
