From an epidemiological perspective, there is a certain possibility of getting novel coronavirus pneumonia from eating bats, but it is not a definite situation. The first was the emergence of multiple unexplained lung infections within the South China Seafood Market in Wuhan, which was later found to be novel coronavirus pneumonia. So at first it appeared from the South China Seafood Market, after getting the isolated virus strain, it was found to be very close to the virus strain of bats, reaching about 85% homology, and it was thought that it was possible that close contact with bats, i.e., after eating bats, could introduce the virus into the human body, and the virus mutated and became human-to-human. However, a strain of virus was later isolated from the body of pangolin, which was 99% similar to the virus of novel coronavirus pneumonia, and it may be thought that eating pangolin or drugs related to pangolin could cause the spread and onset of novel coronavirus pneumonia, but there may be new research results later. Therefore, it may be that there is currently some correlation with eating bats and pangolin, but it has not been conclusively established. Content source: Dr. You Lai
