Plausible... could one wild bat cause a pandemic? Maybe, but the odds are long.

But if you farm wild animals, and you get a wild, novel virus loose in what is likely a closely confined population then you could end up supplying large numbers of infected animals to the market.

Of COURSE the WHO is going to attribute the source of the virus to an animal source. Go watch the Rogan podcast where his guest obliterates the idea of it originating from a wet market and says the evidence is clear it escaped a lab in Wuhan.

I can’t access the video where I am right now or I’d post the link.
