Bat night at the ballpark?
I remember Andrew Zimmern partaking in a hideous bowl of that. Looked as ugly as it sounds.
“There was a rumor that the cleaning crew at that virus lab was selling the test bats to the seafood market”
Very likely. The construction of this lab in 2017 was protested and not recommended because of this very problem by world health organizations. This was most likely a bio-weapons lab in spite of the Chinese calling it something else, friendlier and fuzzier.
“Bat meat is still popular in some parts of Indonesia...”
As Ann Coulter would say: “The State Department would notice that and say -— hey, that is an interesting culture to import into the United States.”
we have one of those running for president here...
It was tasty. We were not starving (plenty of fish in the area), so I wouldn't hesitate to eat it again (presuming that it isn't causing the current disease).
Yes, I’ll have a family size bucket of batwings please.
There was also the animal worshipers’ false accusation against all Chinese in general in regards to this.

What is surprising is that despite having the fourth largest population of any country and all of the China-Indonesia travel associated with the Lunar New Year, we still have yet to find one case of the latest virus confirmed in Indonesia.
My son in law’s father insists that the virus is destroyed by pepper and chilies.
It’s a BSL-4 lab! The cleaning crew shouldn’t have access to these labs, the vivarium, or the waste facilities. If the meat of the lab animals was being sold to markets it was done by lab technicians not a member of a cleaning crew.
How about them wings?
They're called 'Wet Markets'.
They sell any living thing. Descriptions of live animals stuffed into cages are straight out of horror movies.
The population of an historically over-populated country chronically poor and unable to produce quality food has resulted in scavenging for anything that walks, flies, and slithers in mud and slime.
Had Fruit Bat in Micronesia many years ago. Big bats with about 3 ft wingspan. Taste like chicken...
