    Chinese Coronavirus Outbreak Traced Back To Snakes, Study Finds
    by John Anderer


    WUHAN, China — The emergence of a new coronavirus strain in Wuhan, China last month has put the entire world on alert. Following the recent revelation that the virus can in fact be spread via human-to-human transmission, Chinese authorities have halted flights and trains departing the city and inhabitants have been advised not to travel. Meanwhile researchers have been working tirelessly to understand this new health risk, both its origins and nature, in order to formulate the best way to stop a full blown epidemic. Now, researchers appear to have zeroed in on how the virus, officially named 2019-nCoV by the World Health Organization, first spread to humans: exposure to snakes at a wholesale market.

    The study concludes that the first human diagnosed with this strain of coronavirus had, in all likelihood, visited a market in Wuhan where a large assortment of wildlife were available for purchase, including snakes, bats, farm animals, poultry, and seafood.

    A detailed genetic analysis of the virus was performed, in which it was compared to any available genetic information on other viruses from across the world and the animal kingdom. This work resulted in the conclusion that this new virus first formed due to the combination of a coronavirus strain usually found in bats with another coronavirus strain of largely “unknown origin.” The product of this combination was a new virus that featured a mix, or “recombination,” of a viral protein that recognizes and binds to host cell receptors. This ability to recognize and bind to host cells is effectively what allows viruses to enter new hosts, leading to infection and disease.

    So, while the very beginnings of 2019-nCoV appear to be linked to bats, researchers also found evidence that the coronavirus at some point made its way into snakes before ultimately reaching human patient zero. It was this aforementioned ability to recombine within the viral receptor-binding protein that likely facilitated the virus’ cross-species transmission from snakes to humans.



    “Results derived from our evolutionary analysis suggest for the first time that snake is the most probable wildlife animal reservoir for the 2019-nCoV,” the study reads. “New information obtained from our evolutionary analysis is highly significant for effective control of the outbreak caused by the 2019-nCoV-induced pneumonia.”

    An extra editorial accompanying the study adds that while it is very likely that new vaccines or anti-viral drugs will have to be developed to fight this suddenly infamous strain of coronavirus, pre-existing antiviral drugs should at least be tested out, as it is possible they may be effective in fighting it.

    The study is published in the Journal of Medical Virology.

    Another scare tactic just like ebola. Guess how many are reported to have died....17. Sounds like some kind of threat to me. Wonder where we keep hearing that number.

    China virus death toll jumps to 17, officials say avoid epicentre city

    Oh, and we'll all be dead in 12 years anyway. Glowball warming don'tcha know.

    Y'all got a better chance of dying from hitting your head on a toilet. Or driving virtually anywhere on South Carolina's roads.

    I'm not sure I agree with y'all on this.

    This is happening in the communist utopia. The same spot the harvest organs from live prisoners and say they aren't.

    It reminds me of the whole Chernobyl episode where the Soviets said nothing was wrong, mean while "liquidators" where literally falling over dead.

    I suspect this is a lot worse than we know about actually.
    Yup, he's crazy...

    I'm not sure I'd wave this one aside just yet. Granted, "supposedly" the deaths are only up to 18, but it remains to be seen how many of the infected/ill ones recover.

    I had the Corona Virus once. Drank about 23 in an evening. I was sicker'n hell the next morning. Made a full recovery though.

    Maybe you should stop drinking out of the toilet.

    I’m with mergie on this one. Every year there is a new “super virus”. Scare tactic. Ebola, avian bird flu, etc...

    So what is the point of using said scare tactics? Keep everyone from traveling to or from the origin of said outbreak or to boost pharm sales or ?

    Continue to lay the groundwork for mandatory vaccinations?

    It's more sensationalism and news hype than scare tactics. But some random observations:

    It doesn't seem more deadly than the flu. Yet, anyway.

    You can't believe anything the Chinese say.

    I think you and others are right, although the potential for a big problem appears to be there.

    Hopefully the news about quarantines and travel lockdowns in China are accurate.

    Eating live rats. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. I wonder how long it will take the Chinese to realize that eating weird shit is risky to your health?

    Bats, snakes, rats, bugs, etc., they seem to prefer odd and rare or damn near extinct animals to eat.

    Of course we can't claim the high ground on any argument about eating weird stuff if you've ever put an oyster in your mouth.

    For goodness sakes they kill Rinos because they think grinding the horn down will make their dick hard.

    They are a bunch of backward ass idiots.

    I'd be fine with killing the ring to say I had a great hunt on the dark continent, but not for the horn.

    We can pump out little blue pills all day and not 1 ring is killed in the process!
