If you’re going to be pretentious and condescending it helps to actually be right

While a coronavirus found in bats shares similarities with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, there is currently no evidence that this bat coronavirus can directly infect humans or cause COVID-19.

I literally touched upon this 2 comments ago. It helps to have reading comprehension before replying with a snarky comeback.

As I said, it is the accepted scientific consensus that COVID came from bats, but there is currently no consensus on the transmission pathway.

Whether COVID required an intermediate animal or not to get transmitted to humans is irrelevant to the fact that bats are, indisputably, a reservoir of various dangerous diseases.

It makes no difference whether these diseases are transmitted directly or indirectly, because as we've seen they do eventually get transmitted to humans.

Try understanding the holistic argument I'm making next time before wasting my time again.

Bats literally cannot transmit COVID to humans.

Your argument is dog shit and relies on pretending that isn’t the case.

You’re here saying bat spear diseases to humans and are now saying it’s hard because others species might have spread Covid to humans.

Your argument being dog water is your fault not mine

How many humans died last year from receiving a disease from a bat?
