The earliest outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan was in the South China seafood market, but is currently not thought to be seafood related. The initial virus may have come from bats, because bats carry a variety of coronaviruses, and it is possible that the above coronaviruses may have mutated and then been transmitted to humans, but there is no virus in bats that is identical to the new coronavirus, and it may have been transmitted to humans after some kind of intermediate host mutation. No intermediate hosts have been found, and it is thought that the intermediate hosts are not necessarily animals in the South China seafood market, much less seafood, but may be mammals or reptiles, probably related to wild animals, so we are urged not to catch and eat wild animals as much as possible. The new coronavirus has been mutated to infect humans, and finding an intermediate host is meaningless for personal protection. The main thing is not to have close contact with wild animals in the future, and it is better not to catch and eat wild animals. Content source: Dr. You Lai
