The virus binds to humans in a similar way to the virus that causes COVID-19.

      Yes the last one came from bats (COVID), and the one before that (MERS), and the one before that (SARS)

        If you had an area prone to viruses in bats, wouldn’t it be easier to build a research lab near there, rather than far away? If that’s what ypu are researching?

        You’ll notice McMurdo is in Antarctica

        Most major Chinese cities have coronavirus labs ('member the SARS epidemic?) and epidemics usually become first noticeable in major cities.
