COVID-Like Bat Virus Discovered by Researchers in Same Chinese Lab Accused of Leaking Deadly 2020 Outbreak: Study; Covid-Like Bat Virus Discovered at SAME LAB in China Accused of Leaking Pandemic Bug with Fears It Could Infect Humans, and other C-Virus related stories
COVID-like bat virus discovered by researchers in same Chinese lab accused of leaking deadly 2020 outbreak: study:
Researchers at the Chinese lab accused of leaking the COVID-19 virus have now discovered a new coronavirus in bats that closely matches the one that led to the deadly worldwide outbreak in 2020, according to a study.
The virus, unearthed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, carries the risk of animal-to-human transmission, though the infection has not yet been identified in a living person, according to a study published in the scientific journal Cell.
The bat virus, referred to as HKU5-CoV-2, uses the same human receptor as SARS-CoV-2, a strain of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
The newly discovered bat strain can infect cells by binding to proteins found throughout the human body and other mammals, according to the study, led by notorious “bat lady” virologist, Dr. Shi Zhengli.
The potential for the virus to spill over into humans “remains to be investigated,” the study says.
Researchers said the bat virus belongs to the same coronavirus lineage that causes Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), a severe and often lethal respiratory illness that can spread from camels to people through direct physical contact. —>READ MORE HERE
Covid-like bat virus discovered at SAME LAB in China accused of leaking pandemic bug with fears it could infect humans:
A NEW bat coronavirus has been discovered at the same Chinese lab at the centre of the Covid lab leak theory storm.
Scientists have raised fears that this new virus – which shares simlarities with the bug that triggered the pandemic – could one day spread to humans.
The new bat coronavirus was found at the highly scrutinised Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
This virus, called HKU5-CoV-2, shares features with SARS-CoV-2 virus, that caused Covid-19 and ravaged the world in 2020.
The HKU5-CoV-2 strain enters cells in the same way as SARS-CoV-2, according to a fresh research paper penned by infamous Chinese scientist Shi Zhengli.
Zhengli – one of the top brains at WIV – is known as China’s “Batwoman” and has been linked to the origins of Covid.
This new bat virus binds to a protein found in cells in the bodies of animals.
But it has not yet gained the ability to infect humans – but needs further investigation into the risk of mutation.
Scientists also said HKU5-CoV-2 was closely related to the virus that caused the Middle East respiratory syndrome.
The MERS virus has killed around 36 per cent of the 2,600 people it has infected globally, from 2012 to May 2024, per Bloomberg.
This Wuhan Institute of Virology has been in the public eye since January 2020 when reports of deadly new disease were reported in Wuhan, China.
Coronavirus then quickly spread across the globe, forcing the world to pause just three months later when countries enforced strict and unprecedented lockdowns. —>READ MORE HERE
