COVID’s cousins

Scientists were eager to find some new diseases from bats. As they gear up in the protective gears they take off to a cave with many bats. They then collect the urine from the bats and later do some research on them. This is one way to discover diseases.

As scientists determine whether or not there were any new diseases to be found, they managed to discover 6 new diseases related to COVID-19! Luckily, they do not show any harm to the human race, therefore we are safe.

This century, from what I’ve learned, most of the zoonotic diseases that occurred have come from bats. Since bats have strong immune systems, they won’t be able to be infected. Research shows that bats were the original host of SARS.

All of these information about bats would tell me to stay away from them, because I won’t know what kind of diseases they might hold that may affect me. If I were to get infected, there might not be a cure for it yet and without knowing that i have it may have me spread the dangerous disease around. This might cause many deaths since we already have the corona virus spreading.
