More details on likely evolutionary timescales behind bat-to-human COVID emergence. Interesting work from @robertson_lab @UofGlasgow @CVRinfo suggests 1) SARS2-lineage bat-CoVs have been circulating for few decades (in bats!).....https://ww

Some people are super confused about RaTG13, one of the most closely related viruses to SARS-CoV-2, because of how sparse/disjointed its descriptions have been in interviews and papers. I'll try
