i remember seeing this in a twatter-linked article, several weeks ago. no link, but i do remember.

the other day, my guy said, "well, this is clearly mother nature." wth? i thought he'd lost his mind. he said, (and was only half-joking) that the animals are about sick and tired of us, and diseases like bird/swine/bat/etc flu were their revenge.

i'm a former lic. vet-tech (er & surgery), rescuer of 30 years, supporter of critter charities. i actually think bats are sort of cute and i'm impressed by their sonar. i would never eat one, would never eat anything that i could "adopt." so my guy figures we're probably safe and the Angel of Death (currently the corona virus) will pass over us.
