While we can't absolutely rule out a mutation or even a new virus the analysis of the samples from the infected is not just performed by independent
labs contracted by the WHO - virologists and researchers all over the world also perform genetic analysis as part of their efforts to forward their
own works and also keep the WHO honest.
They can lie about a lot of things - number of dead, infected and so on but it would be of little use for them to try and lie about the virus
itself.
When I see other virologists making those claims after performing analysis I'll start to believe it.
