What are the chances these HIV inserts happened by accident? Im too stupid to understand genome sequences.

Latest coronavirus research by a team of researchers from Nankai University in Tianjin lead by Professor Ruan Jishou, a prominent virologists and genomicist have discovered that the new SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus that causes the Covid-19 disease has a mutated gene that is found in HIV virus. It is this unique feature that sets it aside from the rest of the known coronaviruses.

The combined findings from the three studies indicates that because of the HIV-like mutations, its ability to bind with human cells could be as much as 1,000 times more potent that the initial SARS virus of 2003.

As the findings of the new study indicates that the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has a mutated gene similarly found on the HIV virus, it is also able to attack human cells via the target called furin, which is an enzyme that works as a protein activator in the human body. Typically many proteins are inactive or dormant when they are produced and have to be cut at specific points to activate their various functions which furin does in the human cellular pathways.

Professor Ruan Jishou and his team at Nankai University in Tianjin discovered this new property of the SARS-CoV-2 when they were doing genome sequencing of the new coronavirus found a section of mutated genes that did not exist in the original SARS virus, but were similar to those found in HIV.

Which is why this piece of shit virus is a bio weapon made in a lab.

I dont know if its a bio weapon. It could've been leaked accidentally

Why would a Chinese science team be implying that, though?

I doubt it.

They actually ran some trials to test that, and I believe youre right that they werent proven effective.

they're both viruses. it makes sense intuitively that they would have similar structure

What if patient zero had HIV and he ate a bat infected with SARs?

somehow I highly doubt that that's what happened

please correct me if i'm mistaken, but viruses do not sexually replicate, which that would probably require

Viruses don't replicate the way cells replicate either sexually or asexually. They replicate more like facehuggers from aliens.

Specifically, they inject their RNA into cells, reconfiguring the cell to produce copies of the virus until it is so full of viruses it explodes. Thus the primary immune response is the destruction of infected cells, as it's difficult to catch them out in the "open".
HIV is so terrifying because it infects the T-cells that direct the immune response. Without T-cells, the immune system is basically inert.

perhaps i'm using the wrong phrase to refer to duplicated genomes vs hybrid genomes

bottom line, i'm uncertain as to whether hybridization is naturally possible with respect to viruses

Well viruses can't infect each other since viruses lack the dna/rna replication ability needed to spread, however, HIV tends to re-write DNA so maybe someone with a more thorough HIV education can comment but if both viruses infected the same cell maybe the HIV could modify SARS? That doesn't sound possible. It seems more likely that the proteins in common are because they're important for compatibility with humans somehow.

Tianjin. Stopped reading there. No longer reading anything that comes out of China. Sorry, China. You lost any goodwill, if you ever even had any to begin with.
