Scientific surveys of wild bats typically report a positive rate of less than 0.5% for most North American bat species.

A.) What's the rate among bats who are out during the day when they should be sleeping?
B.) We have over 1.5 million bats. That's 7,500 rabid bats in the city right now. Is one likely to bite me on an average day? Obviously not--but the chances
are decent that it's going to bite the one poor schmo out of 600,000 residents who happens to find it dragging itself along the ground during the day and tries to pick it up. If you're seeing the bat during the day, you've already beaten the odds.
