Previous deadly outbreaks of SARS and Ebola were also believed to have originated in the flying mammal.
But a senior researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who asked not to be named, said the findings should be treated with caution.“Whether it will match what happens in real life is inconclusive. They believe that combined genetic material from both picked up a protein that allows viruses bind to certain host cells - including those of humans.The new strain of coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, causes symptoms that may start as a cold and eventually end up developing into pneumonia
Writing in the Journal of Medical Virology, the authors said: "Results derived from our evolutionary analysis suggest for the first time that snake is the most probable wildlife animal reservoir for the 2019-nCoV.
TheRecluseJuan and how long do you think they’ve been eating things like this for seems a bit daft that all of a sudden this major virus would be bc of the bat soup - westerns just don’t agree with different cultures and want to make it seem as barbaric as possible lol
What do they have for dessert? Cockroach Trifle? Gordon Ramsay has wasted his life.
This is crazy - chinese clearly didn’t draw lessons from Sars
Por favor!
jessbriis Maybe it was the govt of China that created this to put a stop to protest against govt..now they can shut roads,business n movement of people based on this virus concern..hhhmmm realDonaldTrump
jessbriis This is so crazy. Bat sh**t Crazy!
これスープで飲むの・・・・・

Donnysubs
And what in the world is wrong with these people
The Chinese are more dangerous than the coronavirus.

Only in China
Fake news. Fruit Bat Soup is the famous dish of Palau, and that's where these pictures come from. Palau is a small island country in the Pacific for those that don't know. Bat is not eaten in Wuhan. Google Palau fruitbat soup and you'll find these pictures with real info

🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Sickening
The Chinese are fucking weird, they brought this upon themselves.
わたしは二度とコウモリには生まれ変わらない！と言う決意を感じる。
‘Grinning dead Bat’ More like ‘died in Agony faced Bat’ after being cooked alive. Don’t think you’d be grinning if you died like he did.
I wonder if They eat without knowing the risk of getting sick🤔
Sure. Then why has the virus a “ patent!”
Delicious!🍜
JacobGoodman14 🤔
😡😡😡😡😡😡
Bat Shit Crazy!!!
Chicken of the caves
They must stop eating all kind of shit
consumption of some horrible animals in China is alarming..
Do a, search on Chinese also using human oil to now cook noodles
They're wanting to start eating normal food man
In China they eat raw bats and snakes.
AIM_Bandito Chinese not them again spreading illness ..remember last outbreak was humans sleeping with chickens in house ! Doh
Who’s gonna eat those things China
Maybe because your no supposed to eat bats 👍
These sick barbaric treatments of beautiful animals needs to be stopped if this is the cause then all i can say is Karma in its finest!!! The animal bites back 🙌🏻
😱😱😱😱😱
Then rename it the karma virus
…(^o^;)
Nothing to do with U.S patent of the Coronavirus from 2004, nooo nothing to do with that.
Bloody hell! The soupe de jour is 'Potage de Rosemary's Baby'. Just the look on that bat's face says everything. Apparently, he too is rather appalled by the culinary choices. Imagine the joy of nibbling the little bits of meat off those tiny digits.
Sadly, it looks more appetizing than my mother-in-law's pot roast.
Good
🤦🏻♂️
A bit like the film Contagion
These arse holes will eat anything that moves (or doesn’t move fast enough)
Blimey don’t tell Robin
I swear they eat anything with a pulse. Probably eat their grandmother's whilst they're at it.
Why do the Chinese eat such an ugly thing as this?
🤭🤢
They really are fucked up over there. Eat anything that moved once
Chinese would eat their own shit I think.
👆UTTER
Why would you even eat this ?!
MarketSavant Taste like...uh...chicken?
just like start of contagion
Pretty sure that is karma
ixxxxxxxxxxv This shit crazzzyyy
No shock here then as they are dirty b*****ds in general ffs
So far rumors have virus linked to markets selling,...people eating cobra, wolf pups and now bats..not Glorida Everglades Boas
😱😨
Why the f..k are they eating bats ?
コロナウィルスより味が気になる！
monster food
What happened to just plain chicken? It comes in a 3 pack at the grocery store.
Hahahahaha
Bats!! It’s always bats!!
😲😲😲😲😲
That's 3 different causes of possible sources so far today. A reservoir, a bat, soap. Ridicules reporting . Scaring people. Just say, source unknown yet.
Some sources say bats, some say snakes, some say rats - pretty sure it's all clickbait spiced up with 'ewww grossss' pics
The advantage of veganism!
🤢
Bat/snake whatever! China cannot rid itself of its primitive interest in various animal products. One day they will kill us all
🤢 🤮
🤮 🤢 🤮 🤢
Shit.... I love this soup.
I don't deny the food culture of other countries, but I don't want people to get infected with viruses by eating this kind of food.
How dirty they are🤮
うわ、気持ち悪い（＾q＾）
They don’t really eat bats do they?
Poor bat
Good morning from Manaus-Amazonas-Brazil !
Thats the actual plot of this movie
Wtf!!!!!
Wait what virus will come out of a rat soup...
Wtf now
WTF? Is there nothing that we don't kill and eat?
And the Left says all cultures are the same. I think not.
And you are surprised why?
Bah.
Horrible. Lets get some sense. The treatment of animals in China is disgusting.
Find a picture of something weird and then lazily make up it is linked to a virus outbreak....such fine investigative journalism
Shannote_ FFS! Poor bats!
If that’s the case they deserve it. Ban all flights from China till they’ve sorted it out
The Chinks !
Eating bat soup that is crazy man, what is wrong with these Chinese people
Just stick to broccoli people 😩
well people do seem to eat anything that moves or doesn't move...what goes around and all that
