Footage purporting to show a Chinese woman eating a whole bat at a fancy restaurant has gone viral as the country is ravaged by a new deadly virus believed to have come from the flying mammals.

A separate trending video purports to show Cantonese-speaking diners preparing to eat soup made with the nocturnal animal.

The new strain of coronavirus, which emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan last month, has killed at least 17 people, sickened more than 590 and caused the city of 11million to be in lockdown.

The virus, which can cause pneumonia, is poorly understood. Scientists now fear it may have spread to humans from snakes or bats.

I thought it’s thought to have come from snakes, which are sold at the market where the initial cases were seen.

Always remember, this is sensationalism.

For example in San Diego alone over the same time period there have been more deaths by flu.

-

SAN DIEGO — A dozen influenza deaths were recorded in San Diego County last week, bringing the season’s total to 32, the Health and Human Services Agency reported Wednesday.

Just checking here.. Is a Brit court going to file charges against the paper for attacking a culture or is that okay now so long as it’s China?

Problem is that two hours later you want to eat another bat.

We know that there are baseball bats.
They are a big hit with the MLB.

Do the Costcos in China have whole bats as loss leaders?

Uck, the fur is still on the thing. Probably swarming with pathogens. She deserves to get sick from eating that mess.
