Two more have been produced.
There's even a pangolin. Although it seems they're pretty certain now that the virus comes from a bat. Which is odd, because I don't think people eat bats therefore why would it have appeared on a food market. Oh well... this is no place for conspiracy theories.

I think the bat soup origin has been pretty much de-bunked. There's this article
here.
And this one.
It may have been passed from animal to human, but the bat soup story that went viral (unfortunate pun there) was just the media sensationalising things, as per usual.
I like the Covid-19 World meme!

I wasn't talking about bat soup. I'd never even heard of it. Not in the dozens of newspapers articles I read every day. Anyway, maybe one day we'll find out the whole truth behind all this. I believe we will. But not right now.
I really like these covid-19 memes. I hope more will be produced.

People do eat bats. They are considered a delicacy in some cultures. I saw this with my own eyes in Indonesia. I saw them sold on the street markets raw and cooked (ready to eat.) Our guide explained to us how they are prepared and when and how they are served.
I'm not saying this is where covid comes from, I dont know that, but people do eat bats.
The bat soup theory was one of the very first.

Not the same kind of picture at all. But it's pretty cool. I assume they're made of FIMO and are gorgeous.

However, there is also one of the other series that I saw a while ago but forgot to post:

Those are cool little sculptures. I'd never heard of FIMO before so I learned something new. It seems like adult Play-Doh. Now, I bet you're like "I've never heard of Play-Doh before." So we're even on that count.

Nope, we're not even. I know what Play-Doh is. I even have some in my flat for my granddaughter although she's growing out of it now. We used to call it plasticine when I was a child. But Play-Doh have pretty much taken over the market. I also have FIMO.
