this i grabbed from BBC which grabbed it from NEJM web-site, may be old news to thread.

<<International scientists

These latest tests - the most authoritative yet - were carried out by a team of international scientists from eight countries, including Germany and the United States.



Their analysis has found that it is not consistent with any other known virus. Genetic tests showed it was "only distantly related" to known corona viruses.

Preliminary results suggest it has never before been seen in some countries, including the US.

The findings, published on the New England Journal of Medicine website, come as the WHO renews its efforts to stop the virus from spreading.>> my question, this being viewed as a mutation conovirus that is actually only has a distant realationship to the other known conoviruses, does this not leave those working for a vaccine virtually at square one??
