China's Wuhan Corona Research Institute ``High risk of developing new coronavirus'' = South Korean report

A bat virus expert at China's Wuhan Institute of Virology has suggested the possibility of a new coronavirus disease. On the 24th, Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP)
In a paper published by Dr. Shi Zhengli and his colleagues, they evaluated the risk of human transmission of 40 coronaviruses and found that the risk of transmission to 20 coronaviruses, half of them, was extremely high. Dr. Shi Zhengli is a Wuhan Ui
She is a bat virus expert at the Luss Institute and is also known as Batwoman in China. Dr. Shi Zhengli said that 6 out of 40 coronaviruses have already infected humans and caused disease.
revealed. There is now evidence that three more species can cause disease or infect other animals. Dr. Shi Zhengli said, ``If the coronavirus caused disease in the past, it will not cause disease in the future.
"There is a very high risk of developing illness," he said. The study is reportedly based on analysis of the virus' characteristics, including its population, genetic diversity, host species, and past history of zoonotic diseases.
. Dr. Shi Zhengli's research team identified and published important hosts of the pathogen, including natural hosts such as bats and rodents, and potential intermediate hosts such as camels, musk cats, pigs, and pangolins.
According to SCMP, this paper was published in the English academic journal "Emerging Microorganisms and Infections" in July this year, but began to attract attention on Chinese social media this month. This means that the paper is written in Chinese.
However, some analysis suggests that this may be the Chinese authorities' intention to escape from the COVID-19 virus after abruptly canceling the "zero coronavirus" policy.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology has been surrounded by suspicions of leaking the SARSCoV-2 virus that causes the COVID-19 virus. Prior to this, during the Donald Trump administration, in the United States
The possibility has been raised that the virus may have leaked due to an accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and the Biden administration has also conducted a related investigation. Chinese authorities countered that ``a laboratory leak is absolutely impossible,'' and said that Shizheng
Dr. Li also denied the leak theory in an interview with the New York Times.
