Those pesky bats near the Wuhan lab of virology which is researching Corona Viruses again!
Most major Chinese cities have coronavirus labs ('member the SARS epidemic?) and epidemics usually become first noticeable in major cities.
Yes I member the lab which developed Covid19. Same lab as mentioned here.
If you had an area prone to viruses in bats, wouldn't it be easier to build a research lab near there, rather than far away? If that's what ypu are researching?
You'll notice McMurdo is in Antarctica
