      You can only get the virus if you have a weak immune system.

        No, you can catch it under any circumstance but it wont effect you more than a common cold if you have a strong immune system.

                      Yes, someone ate an infected bat ( ew ) and when they infected other people, those people traveled to different places and infected more areas. Ew.

                        Yes, that is true. They were eating wild animals. That's the point.
