Has anyone else seen the coincidence between our new Bat quarter and the outbreak of Coronavirus - which is strongly suspected to have started from Bats? Timing is everything.

    Looks more like it originated with Pangolins....Cheers, RickO
    "According to Chinese state media, researchers at South China Agricultural University have analyzed over 1,000 metagenome samples of wild animals to find pangolins, a type of anteater, are the most likely intermediate host of the novel coronavirus.

    “They found that the sequence of the coronavirus strain assembled from metagenomes was 99 percent identical to that of infected people in the recent coronavirus outbreak,” reported state media.

    Shen Yongyi, a professor with the university and member of the research team, told the Xinhua news service that although previous research found the novel coronavirus originated in bats, the animals hibernate in winter, making it unlikely that they caused the current outbreak."

    Maybe it’ll stop the illegal exploitation of these animals. Although I seriously doubt it as it’s driven other species to extinction or near extinction for “traditional medicine”.

    The Chinese have been eating those things for hundreds, if not thousands of years and NOW the virus emerges?

    I'm not buying it.

    It's all about how the pangolin bushmeat is handled by the time it gets to market. Nasty! Peace Roy

    Unfortunately that seems to be true. I saw what's consumed over there when I was in the Far East.
