1. These viruses have likely been around for a very long time. Why are they suddenly evolving to infect human hosts? 2. Looking at the phylogeny below which shows the relationships between the original SARS-CoV virus and the one we are currently facing, SARS-CoV-2. What is the evidence (in the figure that SARS-CoV-2 did not arise from SARS-CoV in humans?

3. What is the evidence  (shown in the figure) that the likely origin of CoV-2 is a bat and not a pangolin?
