Thread Name: BS: New rules for the coming pandemic
Subject: RE: BS: New rules for the coming pandemic
I've apprised you of the vanishingly small risk of infection from bats. A single exception from nearly 20 years ago merely serves to prove the rule. Those are the facts. There are 18 species of bats here, not one. Another fact. "Coronaviruses found in our bats," eh? Well here's another set of facts. Coronaviruses aren't just one thing. There is a whole family of strains of coronaviruses. The one currently in the news is just one, a novel strain which has been named novel coronavirus 2019-nCov. This strain has not been found in bats in this country. You are spreading scaremongering disinformation in your usual sub-tabloid fashion. Fortunately, an ever-decreasing number of people now look at your posts, let alone trust anything in them.
