New (as yet unpublished) potential evidence that #SARS-#CoV-2 was found in #raccoon #dogs (canids) in the #Huanan #Market in late-2019. Specifically, viral and raccoon dog #DNA in #swabs presumably taken at the time from a stall known to house those animals.
Caveats:
-lots of DNA mixing together in a market.
-can the #provenance of the data be #verified?
- #zoonotic/#lab/market #origin are not #mutually #exclusive.
