It lacks context, but they aren’t just stumbling on the bat viruses. They look for them. China has the best virus hunters in the world and they spend all their time specifically hunting for weird bat viruses to take back to the lab. There are hundreds (thousands?) Of bat viruses that have been collected, cataloged, and experimented on in China, at the WIV and other labs.
Yess!! Let’s go already!!!
My body is ready.
HKU5-CoV-2 was found by a Chinese research team led by virologist Shi Zhengli, known as “Batwoman” for her work on coronaviruses, especially at the Wuhan Institute, which has been at the center of the theory suggesting COVID-19 came from a lab leak—something Shi has denied.
Is this an Onion article?
Yeah sure why not
I hope this one takes me out.
At this point, I welcome it.
Excuse to stay indoors and lose my sleep wake cycle? Sure. Last one was spent on PoE. Now 2 is out… Timely…
Yeah, RFK was already sworn in, so we are ready /s
i’m always behind on trends. haven’t had the last one yet.
RFK will start importing them.
He’ll bite the head off like Ozzy Osbourne. Most metal politician. I hate life.
Raw bat milk mmmm
preventable fatalities!
Like the last one that came from a bat?
Yes the last one came from bats (COVID), and the one before that (MERS), and the one before that (SARS)
Bats and camels for MERS.
Those pesky bats near the Wuhan lab of virology which is researching Corona Viruses again!
Most major Chinese cities have coronavirus labs ('member the SARS epidemic?) and epidemics usually become first noticeable in major cities.
Yes I member the lab which developed Covid19. Same lab as mentioned here.
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
Can we have a virus that only affect those that don’t believe in the virus? 🤔
Unfortunately the last one mainly affected those that were actually considerate towards our fellow humans.
I dunno about “mainly.” We definitely lost way too many good people, but there were plenty denying covid was real while being put on a ventilator.
But yes, I agree. We desperately need a version that only infects the R gene.
It’s never a bad time to start masking in public.
RFK Jr announced a new program to give underprivileged kids pet bats. Due to the demand, many are expected to come from China, but will not be affected by tariffs.
Don’t worry, everything will work out as planned.
There’s probably thousands of coronavira in different animals just waiting to give us their love.
Especially bats. They have more viruses than an average family computer
What if we accelerate climate change to make bats go extinct? Some Thanos level used-the-stones-to-kill-the-stones shit
Vira, that’s funny.
I guess the correct plural is virii or viruses?
(Phone still underlines that first one hmm)
That’s a common misconception, vira or viruses is correct.

or just don’t mess with the bats?
Now the real question is, if you fart in those suits do you have time to enjoy it or does it get expelled directly?
Damnit Randy Marsh.
