Yes the last one came from bats (COVID), and the one before that (MERS), and the one before that (SARS)

Most major Chinese cities have coronavirus labs ('member the SARS epidemic?) and epidemics usually become first noticeable in major cities.

If you had an area prone to viruses in bats, wouldn’t it be easier to build a research lab near there, rather than far away? If that’s what ypu are researching?

You’ll notice McMurdo is in Antarctica
