When I heard first heard about Covid-19 I was sitting in my room on my phone. I saw a video by the southern morning china post about a mysterious virus.. They said it came from a shopping center in China. As more past, it was found that the virus came from a bat and I was very surprised by this because I did not know that they had bats in Chinese shopping centers.
