The "Covid virus was never found or sequenced" narrative is misinfo.
Covid-19 was fully sequenced back in March. The entire genome is available here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/MN908947
This was from a sample taken from a sick person:
Metagenomic RNA sequencing of a sample of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from the patient identified a new RNA virus strain from the family Coronaviridae, which is designated here 'WH-Human 1' coronavirus (and has also been referred to as '2019-nCoV'). Phylogenetic analysis of the complete viral genome (29,903 nucleotides) revealed that the virus was most closely related (89.1% nucleotide similarity) to a group of SARS-like coronaviruses (genus Betacoronavirus, subgenus Sarbecovirus) that had previously been found in bats in China
The weirdest part about this genome is that it ends in 33 adenine bases. This should never happen in nature.
