In the past 20 years, new coronaviruses have emerged from animals with remarkable regularity. In 2002, SARS-CoV jumped from civets into people. Ten years later, MERS emerged from camels. Then in 2019, SARS-CoV-2 began to spread around the world.
For many scientists, this pattern points to a disturbing trend: Coronavirus outbreaks aren't rare events — but will likely occur every decade or so.
Now, scientists are reporting that they have discovered what may be the latest coronavirus to jump from animals into people. And it comes from a surprising source: dogs.
When the COVID-19 pandemic first exploded, Dr. Gregory Gray started to wonder if there might be other coronaviruses out there, already making people sick and threatening to trigger another outbreak.

The trend we must also look at as well is most of the coronavirus outbreaks are taking form in over populated and under delevoped countries. Many diseases from influenza to coronaviruses came from China, the swine flu from 09 came from Mexico. Now this is coming from Indonesia. All Chinese countries are under delevoped and don't have the best sanitary conditions sadly. Im not saying people from this countries but the countries themselves. With lack of conditions such as those in wet markets or even people going into wilderness to possible hunt or pouch we have no idea what will come next. We need to outlaw hunting and sales of wild game or just wild animals in general not considered domestic.

SGT (Join to see) my knowledge isn't lacking. What I stated is true, between things such as climate change, invading wild ecosystems and handling livestock we have no business handling can result in cross contamination. For example in China if people stop going into caves that contain different species of bats then different coronaviruses wouldn't jump. Diseases not ment to infect humans are now infecting us because of our actions.
