Finding a virus in an animal isn't that same as finding the source. A source has not been found. Only later and intermediate hosts (as in 2005): >"As no direct progenitor of SARS-CoV was found in bat populations despite 15 years of searching and as RNA recombination is frequent within coronaviruses, it is highly likely that SARS-CoV newly emerged through recombination of bat SARSr-CoVs in this or other yet-to-be-identified bat caves" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7097006/#!po=11.1842 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7097006/#!po=11... >"No direct progenitor of SARS-CoV was found in bat populations, but WIV16 was found in a cave in Yunnan province, China between 2013 and 2016, and has a 96% genetically similar virus strain." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome_coronavirus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndr...
