I was wondering how come bats don't die from corona viruses if they are carriers?
It seems that the virus finds a niche and their immune systems can adjust, "Instead of killing bat cells as the virus does with human cells, the MERS coronavirus enters a long-term relationship with the host, maintained by the bat's unique 'super' immune system, SARS-CoV-2 is thought to operate in the same way."

"If we could mimic the immune response of bats to viruses, that allows them to tolerate them, then you could look to nature to find a cure. It's already evolved, we don't need to reinvent the wheel. We now have the tools to be able to understand the steps we need to take; we need to develop the drugs to do it."

It's like developing immunity to cope with or rolling with the punch vs killing the virus in humans. As a new virus is introduced, our immune systems will evolve. Forgive me if this has already been posted, but IMO, it's worth revisiting.
