WHAT IS DANGEROUS CORONAVIRUS?
Wang’s “Dream Runner” series clip resurfaced in line in the wake of the recent coronavirus outbreak, which is believed to come from bats or snakes.
Wang is seen holding the cooked bat with her hands as she and another unidentified woman sink into her wing. “The soup we just ate was delicious and tasted fruity,” she says.
The Internet criticized the viral video, blaming Wang and bat eaters like her for their alleged guilt in spreading the dreaded and potentially fatal coronavirus. The video is one of the few similar videos of diners eating the exotic animal.

After days of online ridicule, Wang saw the Chinese blog Weibo to respond to the controversy with an apology.
“I didn’t have the concept of filming that such a virus existed,” he wrote last week, according to the South China Morning Post. “I didn’t realize it until recently.”
Wang added that he is only looking to document some of the island’s local dishes.
