I thought there were no horse shoe bats in the wet markets in Wuhan and Hubei?

“Cui and Shi are searching for other bat populations that could have produced strains capable of infecting humans. The researchers have now isolated some 300 bat coronavirus sequences, most not yet published, with which they will continue to monitor the virus’s evolution” Eating bats whether shoehorn or other variations of bats is the problem it would appear

Tucker Carlson brought up the fact that there were no Horseshoe Bats in the Wuhan Wet Market on his Tuesday show. My theory was the The Wuhan Institute of Virology was studying the role of the pangolin in the spread of Covid-19. They may have had several pangolins infected and wanted to study its how it could be a intermediary for infecting human after being infected by the horseshoe bat. When these pangolins died, they disposed them with their other lab wastes. Because the pangolin is a highly desired source of medicine from its scaly exterior and as a delicacy, they can bring a high price if sold at the Wuhan Wet Market. This market was near the Wuhan Institute. I can imagine someone doing some dumpster diving to retrieve pangolin and taking it over to the market for some quick money. What happened next is something out of a science fiction novel.

This is the best analysis I have found on the origins of the Wuhan Virus—COVID-19:
