Abstract Among the many questions unanswered for the COVID-19 pandemic are the origin of SARS-CoV-2 and the potential role of intermediate animal host(s) in the early animal-to-human transmission. The discovery of RaTG13 bat coronavirus in China suggested a high probability of a bat origin. Here we report molecular and serological evidence of SARS-CoV-2 related coronaviruses (SC2r-CoVs) actively circulating in bats in Southeast Asia. Whole genome sequences were obtained from five independent bats (Rhinolophus acuminatus) in a Thai cave yielding a single isolate (named RacCS203) which is most related to the RmYN02 isolate found in Rhinolophus malayanus in Yunnan, China. SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies were also detected in bats of the same colony and in a pangolin at a wildlife checkpoint in Southern Thailand. Antisera raised against the receptor binding domain (RBD) of RmYN02 was able to cross-neutralize SARS-CoV-2 despite the fact that the RBD of RacCS203 or RmYN02 failed to bind ACE2. Although the origin of the virus remains unresolved, our study extended the geographic distribution of genetically diverse SC2r-CoVs from Japan and China to Thailand over a 4800-km range. Cross-border surveillance is urgently needed to find the immediate progenitor virus of SARS-CoV-2. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21240-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure has and as @roomark said I'm also very proud of how UK has pulled together to get vaccinations to so many people. Watching Sky News right now, it's showing 18.69 million 1st doses given. Absolutely brilliant. While we did make some screw ups earlier on, particularly with PPE and care homes, most other countries had this issue too. Boris and Hancock have done really well on the vaccination rollout, taking a big punt early doors to secure the vaccines before they were even proven, verified and approved. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly say I'm proud at the way the U.K has pulled together when it mattered with the vaccines and the hope has returned and is a massive reality. Watch what's happened in Israel unreal.. You're in Thailand Bob , you have no idea. Agree the UK has done well with the vaccine rollout...it seems that they got that right... but previous to that some of the decisions made were/are open to debate and time will tell if this will be the last lockdown proper there. Yes I am in Thailand...so what? You do understand that Thailand also has the virus..it is world wide..... and from what I see.... the Thais have handled it a lot better than the UK....the US.....France.....parts of Europe...etc. Just because the UK has been successful in the runout of the vaccine to date and you are in the UK....does not suddenly make you UK residents the only ones with an idea of how things are. cheers Edited February 26, 2021 by roobob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like saying you know what a war zone is like if you only see it on TV , I'm not saying the U.K residents are the only ones to see it are you joking? There are a lot of places that got it bad too , but Thailand wasn't one of them so for once be quiet and I know how you like to play back and forth yapping but don't bother this time i'm not interested in your bored posts 🙄 You have no idea, but that's good for you believe me.

Clown No....not joking at all... going by some posts on here it seems that some think that the UK is bearing all the brunt of this virus as the major role player and all other countries are just bit part players to the UK. I am sure the people of Samut Sakhon and all Thais do not think they got of lightly and have no idea what is going on. All countries have been effected but to come out and say the ones who are not in the UK have no idea is just....comical. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not attacking anyone...and no where in any post have I resorted to calling people clowns if they differ in opinion.
