Most commercial caves have a decent bat population. A far number have more than one entrance, although only one might be human sized.
Don't forget the government owns and operates a number of caves as well, including Mammoth and other national parks. Hypocritical? Our government?? Of course they are! Misguided, uninformed, overreaching and out of control as well.
Why isn't the Department of Homeland Security running the cave closures? We know they've got time on their hands as they've decided not to close the border with Mexico. We have more restrictions as cavers than the country has placed on the spread of something that kills people. Close the caves? Of course! Close the border? No, can't do that, that horse has left the barn. yada yada yada.
