2020 Year of the Rat
It's my year. Yaaay..... not. But since everyone's talking about it, I thought I might check out on my year: https://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/chinese-zodiac/rat.htm The first thing that can be read: "Year of the Rat , or year of the Bat and Bad? The recent Corona Virus ourbreaking in Wuhan China seems to be a sign of the beginnings of an inauspicious year, according to Chinese beliefs, for those living in China and especially for those living in Wuhan where the virus originated. Some recent reports have indicated that the virus may have come from close contact with bats - who have unwillingly taken over the headlines during this new Year of the Rat... We hope that all people who are Rats in the Chinese zodiac aren't too discouraged - This is your year! - To all Rats around the world, we wish you a healthy and lucky year in 2020!" I laughed, not at the virus but the implication. Bats are rats that can fly.
