No, it is not known if it is due to consumption of bat.

The most common hypothesis is that it was a bat virus that migrated to a pangolin. My guess is it was started by someone who was handling pangolin meat.

Wuhan virology lab studying SARS was 280 meters from the market... Probably had horseshoe bat and pangolin test subjects and infected one of the workers....

Seems more likely than a bat, pangolin, and a human walking into a bar after not interacting for millions of years.

So we thought nuclear weapons were are big worry. No, it turns out a bunch of ignorant Chinese wildlife dealers were the real peril. You tell me. What could be more moronic (perhaps ironic too) for a modern, enlightened world to be sunk by this totally silly s h i t?

Guys this happened because people were following ancient superstitions and eating crazy animals and keeping all sorts of animals together

That's why we have strict laws in this country regarding how you raise livestock and care for them

They were keeping all sorts of exotic animals confined and they were keeping them in the same place they sell produce

This has been known to happen several times in recent history. It's a lesson that we all need to learn basic science and stop following crazy superstitions

No, we never found patient zero or any of the other index patients. We have not found the interim mammal after bat either.

The marathoner in Italy is closest we had?

Meaning.. the 10 preventive vaccines in the pipeline in 1-2 years went partially blind. They like a sequence of genome if u know what I mean. Easier for a better find answer.

Customs develop out of necessity. Starvation was a HUGE issue in China through 1970s. Chinese commoners on mainland then could not be like affluent in Hong Kong. Chinese broadened their food choices. Customs change slowly. Some in U.S. still eat pig innards.
