But some is just published confirmation of previous reports and suspicions.

The coronavirus is most like bat viruses that live in their gut. Transmission route to humans is usually from some animal that ingested bat shit, and then passed it on to humans somehow.

The surprise is that it doesn't affect the gut more in humans but kills via the lungs.

Almost makes you wonder if means of transmission might not play a factor.
