Thanks, that does make sense. And we'd likely be able to tell if a bat-adapted virus had spilled over?
Is there a paper you'd recommend on how these host-specific adaptations are identified? Not necessarily for SARS2, but in any case.

I don't think this is how Covid came about (market spillover is pretty obvious at this point). But wouldn't a live bat colony give a vector for viral evolution and spillover to take place?
