COVID19 = SARS?

My own research shows that two unique genetic fingerpints in the genome of SARS-CoV virus of 2003 are also found in the genome of SARS-CoV2. Unlike the other coronaviruses, both the SARS-CoV strain of 2003 and SARS-CoV2 (COVID19-virus) do not contain the HE protein. Further, a short lysine-rich region (KTFPPTEPKKDKKKKTDEAQ) in the N-protein was reported to be unique to SARS-CoV [10]. Intriguingly, an almost identical sequence (KTFPPTEPKKDKKKKADETQ) is found in the N-protein of SARS-CoV2. Both characteristics prove that we are dealing with a variant of the same virus of 2003. This means that COVID19 = SARS, which has far reaching consequences.
