I have a question, so if this virus was transmitted from a bat to humans in some wet market in wuhan, why haven’t this pandemic occurred before? I’m pretty sure 2019 was not the first time the Chinese ate bats from a wet market.

It is not the first such outbreak. SARS also originated in China but fortunately did not spread the way this one has.
Also, the virus did not come directly from bats. It spread from bats to another animal, possibly the pangolin, and then to humans.

Viruses mutate and evolve and diverge into different forms as they jump from species to species. They have DNA and RNA just like other life forms.
Coronavirus was actually defined in the 1930s in chickens but most likely it's existed in some way, shape, or form since pre-history.
As was stated, there was SARS, there was MERS....

Some viruses propagate via DNA, others propagate via RNA. Coronaviruses are RNA viruses - they don't contain DNA.

This is a page 1 question.

I was going to summarize the various conspiracy theory but it's tough to keep up. I think I recorded these:
The "Bill Gates Caused It All" theory by the bold text guy who has since disappeared, which begs the troubling question - did Bill Gates use his powers to "silence him"?
The "Coronavirus is just a Myth for the Government to Control us" theory. Again that kind of died out, maybe the guy caught the virus.
The "5G Cell Phones Caused the Virus by Emitting Virus Causing Brain Waves" theory. This one was sort of a spin off of the Bill Gates theory. This is the one were we can actually prescribe that a Tin Foil Hat will truly protect a person.
The "China Created a Weapon" theory. Actually it's more like *insert your major power here* created a weapon. Sometimes it's China, sometimes it's the US.
That's as far as I got, did I miss any?
