Again, it hasn't been found in bats, or any other animal. "Whatever it came from" - you are assuming there is something it came from. See the Nature article I just cited -- [URL='https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00548-w']Mystery deepens over animal source of coronavirus[/URL] -- people are looking for it in animals and not finding it.

It is able to spread indiscriminately in humans -- it has a doubling time of 5 days in human populations. If it comes from an animal, then it is better adapted to the animal source than to humans -- that is how evolution works. If it can spread indiscriminately in humans, it had better be able to spread indiscriminately in at least one animal species, or your hypothesis of an animal source is blown up. Yet it can't even establish itself in animals, much less maintain itself in an animal population. That is what the data is showing.

There is only one answer that comports with logic and scientific understanding of how viruses evolve. You just don't want to entertain it.
