    • Pangolins look like little baby dinosaurs. I think we should not be eating anything that looks like dinosaurs.mg33
    • different countries, different proteins. you eat what's available. it's ridiculous how some people condone eating X over Y. hop out of your bubble.lvl_13

    • ^^what niko said. They're a "delicacy" - and no one should be eating bats. They're highly metabolic animals that incubate highly metabolic Corona virusesKhurram
    • All recent Corona viruses were linked to bats - SARS (China) MERS (Middle East) Ebola (Africa) and Covid-19 (China)Khurram
    • And they're not all China either, so all anti-China xenophobes can also shut the fuck up.Khurram

    • via bats. In fact, it is probable that even SARS and this one came from poultry via batsKhurram
    • BBC Radio 4 Inside Science program from last week, they went deep into it, so I don't know. I'm no virologist.Khurram
    • This one: https://www.bbc.co.u…Khurram
    • I was browsing viruses in Wikipedia...there are tons of others and also small epidemic outbreaks in our history.uan
    • also viruses mutate in loops. they can stem off and mutate multiple times then (as we see it) mutate back to be the same virus.kingsteven
