Flying requires the bat metabolism to run at a very high rate, causing stress and potential cell damage, and experts think bats may have developed a mechanism to limit this damage by having parts of their immune system permanently switched on. I guess this is what tells Kaci Hickox that she can't possibly infect anyone

In the 1964 horror thriller “The Last Man on Earth” where a pandemic has transformed all humans into zombies, the lone survivor theorizes that his immunity to the disease stems from having been bitten by a bat.
The pandemic was weakened within the bat’s system & once passed on to the survivor (Vincent Price), it resulted in immunity instead of fatal illness.
Will truth prove stranger than fiction?

The secret of bats has been known for a long time. They don’t maintain a 98.6 body temp.

“Ebola-carrying bats may be heroes as well as villains’
It figures: Ebola is good for you after all according to the mainstream media.
“Clues are starting to emerge following gene analysis, which suggest bats’ capacity to evade Ebola could be linked with their other stand-out ability — the power of flight.”
Great. So now the apparent cure for Ebola will have the minor side-effect of causing people to grow bat wings?

Heroes? What? It’s bad enough that overpaid, immoral athletes get called “heroes”. Now we are calling bats “heroes”!?
