Come on man, be serious. These bats don't just "fly around"! They use sophisticated echo location that is a product of million of years of evolution. How many bat crashes have you heard about? Their flights are safer than humans most cutting-edge planes.

Such bat would never fly into human, however humans even fly into buildings or mountains were bats take rest.

Thoughts?
You should confine yourself to excelling in your permie role.
Your manager wont be interested in your Covid thoughts at your bi-monthly appraisal.
Leave virology and epidemiology to the experts.

HTH, BIDI

Nah, that was a bit weak.

No evidence then? It could be true of course, like many things, but where is the evidence?

Well, I think there's were a few whistle-blowers about the Wuhan institute, but unfortunately they all died recently.

Unfair. I thought the "bi-monthly appraisal" thing was classy

We have found, shocking to us, that bats crash into each other quite often. It's a messy situation, but generally it's very safe and it works very well.

So do they really crashing if it is safe and "works very well"? Have you seen human crash that "works very well"?

Bat virome - Wikipedia

Contact with bat fluids such as feces, urine, and saliva is an important source of spillover from bats to humans

A forest full of bat sh*t is probably a more likely source of the virus than a sealed test tube.

This thread underlines a very basic ignorance of virology by the thread starter.

HTh BIDI.

In any case the early patients weren't from the Lab they were all at the market. If the virus had started at the Lab then all the patients would have come from there.

I wouldn't have though that highly trained virologists would pop down to some grubby market for the afternoon.

The sellers in the market would have been catching animals to sell in forests covered in bat droppings.
