I suppose. It's just weird that they would know the genetic markets to look for before even "isolating" the virus. Last I had heard they were going off the en silico (computer generated) model that was obtained by sequencing the phlegm of the guy that fell ill in the Wuhan wet market. Not sure how they know those are viral genetic markers.
Recent events have left me with a need for proof of basic concepts in virology. We have genetic editing tools but can't provide direct evidence of viral pathogenicity.
