What a thought that is 😆.Imagine if scientists were like "but we had bats before and they didn't spread a global virus like this before" omg what do we do 😥. Then sit on their hands and go about their business while the people keep dropping like flies from a problem they can fix. Its a problem for now, we fix it now because its happenning now and we have the tools to fix it and no, wishful thinking is not a tool that will fix anything.

So we should get rid of bats because a virus escaped a lab? I guess that makes as much sense as banning guns because of a mental health crisis.

Doing nothing sure is working isnt it? You cant ban bats because they are not made at out leisure. Guns unlike bats are a human creation.

Well you can’t ban guns either without an amendment to the constitution.
