A member asked:
Could the novel coronavirus spread to american bats now? especially with the spring and warmer days coming, there are going to be more bats around.

Horseshoe bats.: There are theories involving the Chinese Horseshoe bat, but I don't believe that there is any evidence of other types of bats potentially playing a part in transmission of COVID 19.
