Also this tree, but I suspect that the same I just linked to, and yes, probably RdRp. Same IDs, so clearly the same. And clearly, they don't have the full genomes (because, well, bloody hard to do) [shared file(s):Ew35lxKU8AAbXdw.png]

@Andrew Rambaut points well taken re cross-reactivity - even the best seroassays are not 100% - the paper we referenced in PO1 and the one Daszak is talking about did look for cross-rxty with other covs. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12250-018-0012-7 cloned most of the known human covs and tested thoseas well as follow-up western blotting. my take is at least some sarbecovirus reactivity possible.

...and the cdc paper - which i cant find now - showing seroreactivty to SC2 pre-pandemic was crap.

Reality: Every one of the zoo's panthers are equipped with chips. The instant the animal left it's perimeter, alertswere sounded and a team was sent to capture it before it escaped the zoo, The zoo has large fence around itsperimeter as well.

So --- if it's true that SC2 a "generalist" virus, is it rapidly now becoming more of a generalist virus???
-
AS for the panthers there have been 125 panther attacks in the US in the past 100 years - 27 fatalities. All of the attacks were wild panthers - none had escaped from a zoo.

But there is a hypothetical chance that pathers could escape from a zoo, so best- i guess it will be argued - just toshut down all the zoos.
