    Completely agree about fur farming - makes a lot of sense. Raccoon dogs are used for fur farming. I'll just thought I'd throw that in there.

    One thing though: if we dismiss RaTG13 to SARS-CoV-2 on the basis of 96% similarity, then so we must also dismiss BCoV to HCoV-OC43. Could easily something closer.

    "also dismiss BCoV to HCoV-OC43" Agree - it's all an open case. All those relatives of OC43 infecting so many species is quite remarkable - no reason to pick on cows.
