These mappings show that a cart at the market where SARS-COV-2 samples were found had raccoon dog sequences present as well. Notably and most importantly no human DNA was found at this location. So you've got an animal that we know can get infected and transmit SARS-COV-2 at the exact location of SARS-COV-2 and no human DNA found. It begins to look like a smoking gun for a potential animal intermediate host.

Unfortunately we don't have evidence of an infected animal at this location. But this is enough evidence to warrant further investigation and collection.
