The "Hu" in "Wuhan-Hu-1" means "human". In my 2013 paper on the cost of AI
in the appendix ( http://mattmahoney.net/costofai.pdf ) I estimated the
Kolmogorov complexity of the human genome hg19 to be 4.58 x 10^9 bits or
1.43 bits per base. The "junk" DNA, which is 92% of the genome, is mostly
random because there is no evolutionary force to remove mutations. The
coding parts, centromeres, and telomeres are highly repetitive.

The SARS-COV-2 (covid-19) genome is only about 30K bases.
