COVID-19

It is not difficult to find something on the internet blaming bats as the cause of COVID-19. The internet has been around for years and by now we should understand that most of the crap on the web is false. Just because it is on the site of a major newspaper or other form of media does not mean it is reliable. All we are reading is the limited research a journalist did to throw together an article. Many journalists may already be bias towards bats and feel their work is completed when they can follow suit to others and blame bats.

Do you want the truth or are you one who believes whatever you read or hear with no facts?  There has not been any scientific proof that can put the total blame of COVID-19 on bats. If you want the truth, it needs to come from credible scientific journals or health organizations such as the CDC. Sites such as WEB.com is not a reliable source on scientific reports.

For years bats have received a bad rap due to the media, Halloween, movies, folklore and superstition. The truth is that all their bad rap was created by people. There is no truth to any of it.  The ignorance today still continues to remain embedded into people's brain instead of taking time to learn the truth about bats.

We need to stop blaming bats and learn to understand the benefits bats have done for our economy. If we were to eliminate bats from our ecosystem, we will quickly suffer with the loss of many fruits and vegetables, an increase in disease carrying insects and a sudden increase for the cost of our produce. It is time we educate our self about bats instead of following unsubstantiated talk.
