The year is 2024.
Trump is elected president.
Somewhere in the world, a butterfly flaps to the left instead of the right.
A bat follows it.

Don't even need that much; just stop eating them.

A realistic version would be pretty boring. That's basically the same as just working for the CDC.

I'd rather have a few months of major discomfort than the two days of hard-core body horror that they just went through.

If people aren't living in the bat's territory they wouldn't be eating them either.

Tbf, even if we gathered all people in one giant city to stop encroaching, bugs would follow us due to our food storage/waste and blood, and bats would follow the yummy bugs and make homes in the structures we make, which like for pigeons are often good for bats too. Bats, rats, and some birds you'll never be able to really escape by avoiding nature because they follow us or something else that does.

We are outnumbered a million to one and they don't need us at all

You want more plagues? This is how you get more plagues.

Was gonna say unexpected letterkenny but then I saw you come from lemmy.ca so...

And no matter how hard some try, they'll never escape it all.
I prefer to live as close to it as possible instead, and as in harmony with it as possible. I do like electricity and running water though lol, but I'd rather be amongst nature than my "fellow" man any day.

RFK eats said bat.

RFK puts a second bat into a blender, then feeds bat soup to…

That's going to be a one year or one generation solution to the problem. Then the situation is even worse.
