1. God damn it what is wrong with eating cows and goats? At least boil or cook your food properly…. jesus. Though i think it would not reach far from africa but it still is worrying.

2. I’m not a doctor – or a chef – but I think we should consider not eating bats, going forward.

   No judgment regarding past bat eating; done is done. But moving into the *future* I think bats should come right off the menu.

   Not get angry and kill them all, we have hopefully learned from the war against sparrows. Just leave em alone. Look at em from a little distance. Admire. Appreciate. Not eat.

3. Another potentially bat-derived illness. If the incubation time between infection and symptons is similarly short this is actually good, as it leaves a much shorter period where this can be transferred or spread.

4. Oh boy, a new hemorrhagic fever like Ebola to add to the mix. Thank God we still have a robust world health organization to combat this new extremely dangerous virus so that it doesn’t spread to the rest of the world.

   Wait, shit.

5. Please stop eating bats. Please stop eating bats for the love of god stop eating bats. It’s literally going to kill us one day. Why can’t people eat just normal meat, not bat meat surely that’s not the most delicious thing on the planet
