Abstract

There is a consensus that Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) originated naturally from Bat coronaviruses (CoVs), in particular RaTG13. However, the SARS‐CoV‐2 host tropism/adaptation pattern has significant discrepancies compared to other CoVs, raising questions concerning the proximal origin of SARS‐CoV‐2.
