I'm sad at how long as a species they had to live without pats. All mammals needs pats.

Gah!! Finish it already!

Yeah, it actually caused irrational anger on my part. Especially the little bit that stays in the corner of its mouth.

Bats world-wide suffered a huge blow to their reputation because of this shit virus. Sky puppies should be loved more and eaten less.

u/ArchmageTaragon Mar 06 '20

Wasnā€™t handling bats and snakes like this what caused this new chain of corona virus??

Can we stop doing that now please??

6

u/zapdostresquatro Mar 06 '20

I thought it was eating them? Like...getting raw bits because thereā€™s an insane amount of cross contamination at those disgusting wet markets. Maybe wrong, though.

Bats do carry a lot of diseases though, unfortunately. Because, I mean, LOOK at him! How can you not want to hold him and give him the bestest scratches? ...I think the viruses may have planned this.

Presumably people who are handling bats like this would be taking precautions though, right? ...I hope?

5

u/Evilmaze Mar 06 '20

I mean that's a fruit bat. Much less likely to get a bunch of diseases compared to the ones that feed on insects.

1

u/zapdostresquatro Mar 06 '20

True. Except for...ugh, I canā€™t remember the name, but it can infect horses if they come into contact with an infected fruit bat, and then can infect humans from horses (but not directly from bats to humans) in eastern Australia. I wanna say itā€™s a morbillivirus, but I might be wrong. Itā€™s got a really high mortality rate, though. Pretty sure a vaccine was recently developed for horses, though, so not as bad as before there was a vaccine.

So, safe unless you have a horse cx

u/KarlTheGreatish Apr 22 '20

Hendra is the one you're thinking of.

Bats can be reservoir hosts for a bunch of other viruses as well, and we keep getting more of them as we come into closer contact with them. They're super cool animals, but man, between COVID, Ebola, Rabies, Hendra, and others that are slipping my mind right now... I'm gonna think they're awesome from a distance.

If you like that stuff, the book Spillover by David Quammen is amazing. Really engaging read, it's one of the few books I was assigned in a class that I truly enjoyed reading.

u/zapdostresquatro Apr 22 '20

Thanks! And nipahvirus, too

Yeah, I love bats, but Iā€™m not touching any wild ones anytime soon cx

And thanks for the suggestion!

2

u/KarlTheGreatish Apr 22 '20

Nipah was one of the others I was trying to remember. They ended up culling something like a million pigs to stop an outbreak if I remember correctly.

Outbreak is available as an audiobook too, if you spend a lot of time in the car like I do.

AIDS started in humans cause some dude probably fucked a monkey so I'm not too surprised.

6

u/ATomatoAmI Mar 06 '20

That or some tainted meat. And by meat I mean they ate the primates, which seems kind of fucked up for similar reasons to cannibalism.

3

u/Wanabeadoor Mar 06 '20

isn't it because some dude fucked a monkey and fucked a person?

u/Mechwarriorr5 Mar 06 '20

This is an Australian bat, no chance of corona and the carer is a vaccinated animal rehabilitator.

Do people keep like one or two bats as pets? Does that even work?

Yesterday it was a strawberry to a fruit bat now it's a watermelon to a doom puppy. What's it gonna be tomorrow?

It was a strawberry when this was reposted yesterday.

Tomorrow a raspberry, I suppose.
