Just saw a paper that showed it infects guinea pigs (and transmits). So we have primates, rodents, carnivores andpholidotes so far.

But we are surely not going to be expecting people to wear masks when there are apparently no cases just in case.

That is a lot of masks.

I guess is that masks will still be effectively compulsory in China. In a similar bipolar world, I've screened lots ofpapers on bioRxiv that basically fall into two camps: (i) SARS-CoV-2 is able to bind to ACE2 from a broad range ofspecies; (ii) SARS-CoV-2 is able to bind to ACE2 from a narrow range of species.
