There are no bats in Wuhan? I find that hard to believe.
There are no discovered bat populations in the Wuhan region with a SARS-COV2 ancestor, that's more likely.
That the only source of bats infected with a SARS-COV2 relative is in the Yunnan province, that's pretty unlikely.
- busterarm 5y agoThere are three bat species with an identified SARS-CoV2 relative (RaTG13, RmYN02, RshSTT182 and RshSTT200) and none of them are found in Wuhan.
- undersuit 5y agoYeah exactly. > With over 100 species recognised, China has one of the richest bat faunas in the Palaearctic. You need to prove a negative. You need to prove the bats in Wuhan don't have Covid. More and more bats in Yunnan doesn't do that.
