Agree with everything you said, and yeah that idiot eating the bat was mostly perfect timing, but the "COVID-19" genome is 96% similar to a bat coronavirus, so it almost definitely came from a bat. It would have had to go through another species first though, and right now they are suspecting it was the pangolin, since they found a coronavirus on them that is 99% similar to "COVID-19"

Calling it "China Virus" is absolutely racist - it was never called that to begin with, but racists are using the name now. In case anyone was curious, the Hong Kong subreddit is absolutely ruined now, filled with anti-China racists from all over the world, mostly Australia and USA. They insist on calling it things like "China Virus" and "WARS" and the sub is filled with racist propaganda. Their live thread is still useful, but the subreddit itself is a lost cause.
