Hi Anne Lise, The corona virus originally came from bats? This epidemic is so scary. I hope they get it contained soon. Good informative write. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Is that how the Caronavirus is passed? Oh my, we may have a hard time finding a cure for this scary illness. My sister just canceled a cruise for fear of exposure to the virus. These are frightening times. Excellent haiku, Sunshine! Hugs, Carolyn

I've never seen a bat in real life. I didn't know they could be so big. A thought provoking haiku, Ann-Lise. :)

It's worrying Ann, new cases popping up all the time, at the last count 722 dead. The Spanish flu was worse though, over 500 million died after the first World, you should Google it, Tom
