Then there is this, something brewing in the sewers of NYC. "So, they've been doing surveillance in New York City wastewater, as they are around the country.
And particularly in New York City they're finding what they're calling cryptic sequences. These
are sequences from the Coronavirus that do not fit with any of the sequences that we
understand from Coronavirus. So, where are these coming from? ... The speculation is that these are coming from rats who are being exposed to humans either through human waste, or by digging through human garbage and things like that, then circulating in the rat population, changing and mutating. The question is, could there then be a reverse zoonosis with infection of humans or other, you know, dogs, cats, and that be a mechanism to convey it to humans? But
The way it is referred to as "the coronavirus" is odd. Coronaviruses are ubiquitous zoonotic viruses. How long have scientists been looking for coronaviruses in New York sewers? A relatively recent phenomenon I gather. And if they had been looking, finding them would have seemed unremarkable before 2019. I remember reading Karl Taro Greenfield's book about SARS 1. It is called China Syndrome: The True Story of the 21st Century's First Great Epidemic. I seem to recall that relatively little study of coronaviruses had been done before SARS-1 particularly in humans. Birds perhaps but rarely in humans. I could be mistaken here, I concede.
This may got with Harvard 2 the Highways hypothesis. If you follow him! His deattenuating LAV hypothesis mentions rats and how cities will fare terribly because of this and the crowded conditions.
