Australian Researchers Find That COVID-19 Is "Best Adapted" to Attack Human Airway Cells, Didn't Come From Bats

In the earliest part of my reporting on the subject, I was alarmed to see that leading virologists such as Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina and Dr. Shi Zhengli of China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology were conducting experiments on coronaviruses, including SARS viral strains, that would make the resulting modified viruses more easily able to infect humans and would make them more deadly. As we reported in early May, Baric’s lab-created SARS mutant was designed to bind to “human airway epithelial cells,” or, the cells that line the upper airways of the respiratory tract with the purpose of moistening and protecting the airways and serving as a barrier to potential pathogens and foreign particles.

To the point of almost bragging, many scientists who conducted this type of research seemed rather impressed with themselves for being able to accomplish such a feat. It was also interesting that, oftentimes, these laboratory mutated viruses had little effect on other human cells.

Now it appears that a team of Australian scientists has confirmed the same about the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 outbreak. Considering the symptoms of COVID-19 and its laser-like focus on the airways, that’s not too surprising.

From the Daily Telegraph:

A team of Australian researchers have published a scientific paper proving that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus appears to be best adapted to attack human cells, raising even more questions about the pandemic’s origins.

The scientists from Flinders University and La Trobe used powerful computers to model the protein receptors in a number of animal species to see how the coronavirus’s spike protein attached itself to them.
