Some team members can be seen collecting potentially highly infectious faeces of bats while wearing short sleeves, with no noticeable personal protective equipment (PPE) other than gloves.
A video from Chinese state-run TV reportedly showed that researchers from the controversial Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) were bitten by bats while they were handling the wild animals without using protective gear.
The video was first released on December 29, 2017—two years before the pandemic hit the world.
