Pangolins have large, protective keratin scales covering their skin; they are the only known mammals with this feature. They live in hollow trees or burrows, depending on the species. Pangolins are nocturnal, and their diet consists of mainly ants and termites, which they capture using their long tongues. They tend to be solitary animals, meeting only to mate and produce a litter of one to three offspring, which they raise for about two years.

Pangolins are threatened by poaching (for their meat and scales, which are used in Chinese traditional medicine for a variety of ailments including excessive anxiety and hysterical crying in children, women thought to be possessed by devils and ogres, malarial fever, and deafness[4]) and heavy deforestation of their natural habitats, and are the most trafficked mammals in the world.[5] As of January 2020, of the eight species of pangolin, three (Manis culionensis, M. pentadactyla and M. javanica) are listed as critically endangered, three (Phataginus tricuspis, Manis crassicaudata and Smutsia gigantea) are listed as endangered and two (Phataginus tetradactyla and Smutsia temminckii) are listed as vulnerable on the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.[6]

I'd rather deal with bats

these anteaters are ugly and very probably foul smelling

if they happened to become extinct, I wouldn't worry much

The virus may have started with pangolins.

https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0331/1127645-was-the-pangolin-the-source-of-the-covid-19-outbreak/


Did you read the article? 

The best evidence at the moment points to the virus originating in bats. It’s thought to have jumped to pangolins from bats, and then to have mutated and then jumped from pangolins to humans.

Now how did it jump from species to species to species? At one of China’s many DISGUSTING, inhumane, cruel, wildlife wet markets where these WILD animals are stacked in cages all on top of each other vomiting, shitting, pissing, breathing, and bleeding all over each other and slaughtered alive by humans and sold to other humans right then and there.

Was talking to a coworker in Colorado Springs today. They're now officially on lockdown [although as an essential infrastructure company, a lot of those guys are still working in our engineering labs when they can't remote into systems].

He was saying that their county is the highest death rate so far of COVID-19 in Colorado. And, it happens to be nearly the most "conservative". He mentioned that people are still having block parties and basically congregating as if nothing has happened, and that one of our other coworkers from that office (he didn't name him because he knows I would know him) was saying "it's just the flu!"

So... Yeah. Good work, Colorado!

You’d rather not. Bats carry more viruses than just about any species in the world.

You’re missing out. 

I swear to god you’d think the story was written by Danny McBride for an HBO comedy series.

It is utterly fascinating.

If you want to see the poor apartments of NYC then watch that Netflix documentary about President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s family business. Holy shit. Slumdog Millionaire lived in nicer conditions in India.

No interest. And that's even with my morning radio show (The Woody Show) hyping it constantly.
