Where Did It Come From?

Bats and Pangolins

The story of someone eating a bat is entirely false. In order for a virus to transfer from one species to another (so an animal to a human), the virus must mutate first. In this case, the virus originated in bats. When the virus mutated again, professionals suspect it mutated into pangolins, at type of anteater located in Asia, and then mutated into humans.

​

PLEASE NOTE THAT PANGOLINS ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF THIS OUTBREAK AND IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED FROM ANY ANIMAL. Many people hunt pangolins because of their skin, scales, meat, etc. Because of this outbreak, the population of pangolins are decreasing rapidly, bringing them closer to extinction. Killing pangolins will not solve the problem, the virus is already among humans.
