So viruses hoping from bats to humans have a greater potential to be deadly then viruses which hop from human to dogs. Wouldn't this create a bias because... viruses hoping from bats would get much more attention, and viruses hoping from dogs, pigs, cows would be mostly benign and remain undetected.
Or in other words, bats are not a good virus vector at all, instead they are a vector for deadly viruses.
