The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the new coronavirus discovered in bats is not a cause for concern. The agency announced on Monday, Feb. 24, there is no current threat to public health and no infections have been found in humans.
The CDC stated it’s “aware of a publication about a new coronavirus, but there is no reason to believe it currently poses a concern to public health.”
As Straight Arrow News recently reported, Chinese researchers found a new coronavirus that uses the same cell surface protein to enter human cells as SARS-COV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19.

What did the Chinese study find?

As Straight Arrow News recently reported, Chinese researchers found a new coronavirus that uses the same cell surface protein to enter human cells as SARS-COV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19.

The study shows the coronavirus variant closely resembles the one that led to a deadly pandemic in 2020.

Where did the research come from?

Scientists at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, the same lab accused by some U.S. agencies of leaking the COVID-19 virus, noted the bat virus carries a risk of animal-to-human transmission.

Researchers, however, acknowledged more human testing is needed for a conclusive determination.

Why aren’t scientists too concerned right now?

The study also said the new virus did not enter human cells as easily as the virus that causes COVID-19. It also stated that the “risk of emergence in human populations should not be exaggerated.”

It should be noted that none of the animal studies examined the virus’s transmissibility.

What would happen if it did infect humans?

Researchers said antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies could be effective if people were to become infected with this new strain.

How abundant are coronaviruses?

Scientists said there are hundreds of coronaviruses in nature and only a few affect humans. They said bats “harbor the highest proportion of genetically diverse coronaviruses,” which could pose a potential risk to people.

THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION SAYS THE NEW CORONAVIRUS DISCOVERED IN BATS IS NOT A CAUSE FOR CONCERN.

THE AGENCY ANNOUNCED MONDAY THERE IS NO CURRENT THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND NO INFECTIONS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN HUMANS.

THE C-D-C STATED, IT’S “AWARE OF A PUBLICATION ABOUT A NEW CORONVIRUS, BUT THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE IT CURRENTLY POSES A CONCERN TO PUBLIC HEALTH.”

AS STRAIGHT ARROW NEWS RECENTLY REPORTED, CHINESE RESEARCHERS FOUND A NEW CORONAVIRUS THAT USES THE SAME CELL SURFACE PROTEIN TO ENTER HUMAN CELLS AS SARS-COV-2, WHICH IS THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES COVID-19.

THE STUDY SHOWS THE CORONAVIRUS VARIANT CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE ONE THAT LED TO A DEADLY PANDEMIC IN 2020.

SCIENTISTS AT CHINA’S WUHAN INSTITUTE OF VIROLOGY, THE SAME LAB ACCUSED BY SOME US AGENCIES OF LEAKING THE COVID-19 VIRUS, NOTED THE BAT VIRUS CARRIES A RISK OF ANIMAL-TO-HUMAN TRANSMISSION.

RESEARCHERS, HOWEVER, ACKNOWLEDGED MORE HUMAN TESTING IS NEEDED FOR A CONCLUSIVE DETERMINATION.

THE STUDY ALSO SAYS THE NEW VIRUS DID NOT ENTER HUMAN CELLS AS EASILY AS THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES COVID-19.

STATING, THE “RISK OF EMERGENCE IN HUMAN POPULATION SHOULD NOT BE EXAGGERATED.”

IT SHOULD BE NOTED, NONE OF THE ANIMAL STUDIES EXAMINED THE VIRUS’S TRANSMISSABILITY.

IF HUMANS WERE TO BECOME INFECTED WITH THE LATEST STRAIN FOUND IN BATS, RESEARCHERS SAY ANTIVIRAL DRUGS AND MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES COULD BE EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS.

SCIENTISTS SAY THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CORONAVIRUSES IN NATURE WHILE ONLY A FEW ARE TRANSMISSABLE TO HUMANS.

ADDING, “BATS HARBOR THE HIGHEST PROPORTION OF GENETICALLY DIVERSE CORONAVIRUSES,” WHICH COULD POSE A POTENTIAL RISK TO PEOPLE.
