FWIW, I've been spending more time outside during the pandemic. Sunlight and fresh air are are almost always good for you, and this pandemic seems to be no exception.
The authorities responding with lockdown or "shelter in place" are their one-size-fits-all plan to threats. They only have a few sets of procedures, none of them tailored to a droplet-borne respiratory pandemic.
Leading with similarities to bats is unnecessary, and probably undermines your claim. There's evidence that vitamin D deficiency has a big effect on severity, and staying inside reduces sunlight-generated vitamin D, so you don't need to invoke bats. Just take vitamin D supplements get get outside.

As a result of a technology addiction, humans started living in their own caves, and also became susceptible to the same kinds of disease as a result. Maybe I'm projecting my own experiences... It seems that people in general have stayed indoors more as technology got cheaper and widespread.
