New Bat Virus Discovered: Could It Be the Next COVID-19?

Chinese researchers have identified a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, that uses the same ACE2 receptor as SARS-CoV-2 to enter human cells. While the virus shows some ability to infect human cells in lab experiments, experts say the risk of another pandemic is low due to its weaker binding affinity and existing immunity to similar viruses. The discovery has already impacted COVID-19 vaccine stocks, with Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax seeing gains. Should we be concerned about this new virus? Watch to find out what scientists are saying!
