Don’t you dare accuse sky puppers!

Those bats are having consensual married intercourse in the missionary position the way God intended.

The bat didn’t ask to be eaten.

Hey. Don't blame the adorable lil bats for crazy people eating them.

I love bats so I'm happy to have this quarter made, even if the timing is bad

They found the bat that caused it all.

No no I like it. Bats are cool idea.

Or extremely accurate and we should leave it that way forever

It was a pangolin, not a bat.

We'd be batshit insane not to

Of course you’d want it to stay, bat.

You think that's coincidental? The remake of The Stand was scheduled to be released this year.

I'm down with this. Bats need more love.

I’d say they hit the bat on the head.

i can see it now on imgur in 2050 "did you guys know the quarter from 2020 has a bat on it cause of coronavirus"
whitter86
Except is wasn't bats
DeviousWay
Well don’t eat the fucking quarter then. Bats are good at keeping down flying nasties.
ShanksMcStabs
It's not the fucking bats fault we let this shit get outta hand. Bats are still dealing with widespread white nose syndrome give em a break
ElbowDeepInUserSub
I don't think anyone was recommending we kill the bats. Just stop fucking them.
YayItsMillerTime
Why?
CaffeinatedNecromancer
While we don't know exactly WHAT animal the virus jumped to humans from, it WASN'T a bat. They carry Corona viruses, but some other 1/2
ElbowDeepInUserSub
Theory is Bats > Pangolins > Humans. We were at fault, but bats were involved. It's pretty simple.
CaffeinatedNecromancer
animal was the victim of poaching and therefore it's entirely the HUMANS fault that the virus was transmitted to us on the first place
dashingthousandaire
Current prime suspect is trafficked pangolins. Now we know why they always look guilty.

As long as you don’t eat it, it’s not a promlem
Murdercorpse
Uh oh...

Eating it is fine, stomach acid can handle it.. It's being near one with a mutated virus and not washing your hands.

tell that to a toddler lol

The problem not being coronavirus, of course, but instead being subject to racist jokes based on false information.

And where in this article does it say that coronaviruses transmit to humans by EATING bats?

I guess the US will have to stop trading with China, then

I still like the quarter
SteamingTheCat
What is that even supposed to be? All I see is a bat and a man-bear-thing doing the missionary

It's not a man-bear-thing, it's a pangolin. But yes. They are fucking.

I dont think it is been proved that the coronavirus came from a bat.

knuckledeepinachicken
(so the virus didn't go directly from bats to people, but that's where it started)
misterpink666
I dont think people know the first animal to ever have the coronavirus. Cats have it too.

Congratulations on increasing your social credit score.

This virus's closest cousin with a 96.4% match in genetics is a bat virus. Because it's so different from its closest cousin we're pretty
knuckledeepinachicken
sure it jumped from bats to an intermediate host, then to people. Pangolin meat from a wet market in Wuhan was found to have a very, very
knuckledeepinachicken
similar virus. So the going hypothesis is bats->pangolin+mutation->people+mutation.
Misteree8
Yes hypothesis. Stop equating hypothesis to conclusion. Let the scientist find the conclusion.
CrisprCAS
The closest known variant of SARS-CoV-2 is found in bats, however a portion of its genome is closer to a strain found in pangolins.
Lionskull
it came from china's wet markets. The animals are not to blame.
StandAgainstTyranny
Humans are animals, so, technically....
CrisprCAS
I'm not blaming anyone, I'm relaying the facts regarding the best current information on where the virus is found outside of humans.
Misteree8
Those facts arent insufficient and just fear mongers people into irrational conclusions.
CrisprCAS
Those facts are facts. People need to leave bats alone, they are reservoirs for disease. This is common knowledge for epidemiologists.
