Okay, I had read that article. It's mostly about the findings of previous epidemics. SARS-COV1 was traced to civet cats as the carrier.
The article states that the focus should focus on high-risk viral groups in certain mammals prone to coronavirus infections, such as bats, rodents, badgers, civets, pangolins, and nonhuman primates. This is consistent with prior virus outbreak sources, but I don't think it links SARS-COV2 to civet cats yet.
Does anyone have a subscription to New Scientist? I would like to know what this more recent article is pointing to.

Growing evidence suggests the covid-19 outbreak may not have started at Wuhan’s Huanan Seafood Market in December after all. Finding its origins may help us stop it happening again
