New coronavirus may have 'jumped' to humans from snakes, study finds
As an outbreak of a new coronavirus continues to grow in China and spread to other countries, one question remains: Where did the virus come from? Now, a new study points to a slithering suspect: snakes.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses — some cause illness in people, while others infect animals, including camels, cats and bats, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In rare cases, coronaviruses in animals can evolve to infect people and then spread between people. This was the case with SARS and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) and appears to be the case with 2019-nCoV.

Maybe they should quit drinking snake blood.

We have you right where we we want you. Another degree and half of warming and viruses will be the least of your worries. My cousins are waking up and their famished. I'd think you guys would appreciate the biological perfection of an animal that's basically a 50 dick with a hole at each end.

Maybe from eating frogs like this too. What a shithole epicure!
