They found racoon dog DNA, along with other susceptible animals, comingled with SARS-CoV-2 in samples from the market:

And the behavior of China behind that whole story looks very much like China tried to cover up the existence of susceptible animals at the market.

That was written before Jesse Bloom reanalyzed the data and found a negative correlation with raccoon dogs.

Raccoon Dog DNA was still found at the market. That was previously denied.

I'm not making the argument that the DNA samples indicate that the Raccoon Dogs that the samples were from had SARS-CoV-2. I'm just arguing that previously it had been stated that there were no Raccoon Dogs in the market at all and that has been proven wrong.
