Indonesians have been eating bats for thousands of years. Why aren't they infected with the virus?

Now we can determine the source of the new pneumonia, because humans ate bats, so they were infected. However, Indonesia still sells bats in large quantities, and even they are snapped up as soon as they are sold. In fact, Indonesians are not infected with the virus for three reasons. First, the bats eaten by Indonesians are artificially raised, not wild, so they will not be infected with the virus. Second, the local temperature is high, and even if bats have viruses, it is difficult for them to survive at high temperatures. Third, local people often eat durian and other foods that can enhance human immunity, so they are not easy to get infected with the virus.

First, the bats eaten by Indonesians are artificially raised, not wild, so they will not be infected with the virus.

Eating bats in Indonesia is a tradition handed down from a long time ago, so many people began to raise bats to meet the market demand. Therefore, Indonesians should eat bats raised artificially, not wild animals living in the mountains. We all know that this new type of pneumonia is caused by human eating wild bats. If the bats eaten by Indonesians are domestic, they will naturally not be infected with the virus.

Second, the local temperature is high, and even if bats have viruses, it is difficult for them to survive at high temperatures.

Before, some experts publicly said that the virus would only survive at low temperature and spread easily, so it seems that Indonesia is not a place where the virus can survive for a long time. After all, after a long exposure to high temperature, even the air is hot. If it is as experts say, it is really difficult for this virus to survive in such a hot environment as Indonesia. Even if bats are really infected with the virus, it is estimated that they will be killed by high temperature before they can be transmitted to humans.

Third, local people often eat durian and other foods that can enhance human immunity, so they are not easy to get infected with the virus.

Indonesians are recognized as a sweet tooth race in the world. No matter what you eat, you should put a little sugar to adjust your taste. On weekdays, you will eat a lot of durian to enhance your resistance. So even if there are residual viruses, it is estimated that their resistance will be so high that it will have no effect on the body. Moreover, the China people who came back from Indonesia this time did not catch the new pneumonia because they ate the local bats, which shows that the local bats are still relatively safe.
