A team of American virologists has identified a covid-like virus that is lurking in Russian bats and they fear that it is "completely resistant" to all the coronavirus vaccines available on the market.
The pathogen is called Khosta-2 and it was found that it can "latch onto human cells with ease in the same way as the Covid virus."
It is classified as a sarbecovirus, a member of the coronavirus family, and nothing is known about it other than the fact that it is related to SARS-CoV-2, the strain responsible for Covid.
