At least 31,000 people have been infected and 630 killed by the virus, which has spread to two dozen countries.
The new virus, which emerged at a live animal market in central China's Wuhan city late last year, is believed to have originated in bats, but researchers have suggested there could have been an"intermediate host" in the transmission to humans., scientists from the university found the genome sequences of viruses found on pangolins to be 99% identical to those on coronavirus patients, the official Xinhua news agency reported Friday.
They are destined for markets in China and Vietnam, where their scales are used in traditional medicine – despite having no medical benefits – and their meat is bought on the black market.
Death to Pangolin eaters.
Gamot sa hika ang powdered scales nyan.
This is beginning to look like the revenge of the pangolins.
So, it came from these mammals before it was engineered in a government lab, right?
teaandabikkie The Chinese poach them so that’s that
Oh no!!! Pangolins are endangered species!!! We should rather raid the 2 bio labs in Wuhan, experimenting with Corona viruses!!
Sorry.. people are more likely to believe that China had Pangolins working on vaccine research in the Wuhan lvl 4 bio lab, and they mistakenly created and released a super virus.. 🤷🏻♀️

Oh God, this is disasters
Good I’m glad good pangolins
The genome of chimpanzees is 98.63% identical to that of humans and yet there are differences, so the value of the coronavirusv is far from being determined so much to genome sequences of viruses found on pangolins ...
PANGOLIN STRIKES BACK BTCCCHHHHHEEEESSSSS
Grasping at straws to direct the cause away from a leak at BSL4 lab in Hunan.
Pangolins, nearly extinct because of poachers, gets the last laugh 😖
nature's revenge
Most trafficked mammal for consumption ni China. No wonder Indian students from Wuhan tested negative
Safe na si Batman.
Tapos sa kanila isisi ang lahat kawawang mga pangolins
But these guys are evolutionarily awesome
Same animal that is killed 'silly folk science cures' for decades is now some how a carrier of corona virus. Why didn't those of the past not died from ingestion of pangolin fins? Maybe they eat magic bull pepper turds.
Revenge of the pangolins
oh paki-pindot na yung article mismo at basahin niyo.
Pangolins - nsa amin ang huling halakhak...
