There has been much controversy about the origin of COVID-19. On June 5438+1October 10, 2020, Zhang Yongzhen's team of Fudan University first studied and published the virus gene series. Since then, the controversy about the source, transmission route and various hosts of the virus has reached a climax.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and people who ate melons in China rose to attack, accusing Wuhan people of eating bats, saying that it was because Wuhan people were greedy and eating bats led to the occurrence of the virus, and Wuhan people instantly became veritable people who took the blame. But later, it was found that there were no bats for sale in the seafood market in South China, and there was no business in that area.

Therefore, obviously, it is a false proposition to say that Wuhan people eat bats, which is obviously untenable. Because the virus comes from bats, there are no bats for sale in the seafood market in South China.
