Not one bat has been found to have COVID-19/THE WUHAN VIRUS! Wet Markets however are places where many wild animal species that are all sentient are held in close quarters and killed on demand for hordes of waiting customers. These markets can be found all over China. As I write this animal to human transmission remains an unknown and in fact the COVID-19 virus hasn’t been isolated from any of the world’s 1400+ species of bat. A coronavirus with 96% of its genome in common with SARS-CoV-2 (2) has been found in a single species of bat (Rhinolophus affinis) in China. This may sound significant, but to put it in context, we share 96% of our genome with chimpanzees but we are not the same species. It is important to stress that in this pandemic it is humans that transmit COVID-19 to other humans, not bats. https://www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/bats-and-disease/covid-19-and-bats
