Antis love to hate wet markets and want to shut them down but there is no evidence that covid made the leap from animal to human there so another anti lie shot down.

One reason this idea has gained such traction is that it dovetails with conservation efforts. Many wet markets sell exotic, endangered and highly trafficked animals such as pangolins. And it would be a victory for animal conservation, he said, if markets like this one were shut down after being blamed for the disease. But that doesn't mean that the evidence is there.

Pardon the stupid question, are wet markets what I call live animal markets in NYC? Where people sell live goats, sheep, and chickens to ethnic groups?


wanna be goat farmer.

Wet markets are where food is kept from spoiling by keeping the animal alive until a buyer comes along. The animal is then butchered (wet work) and the meat is provided to the buyer on the spot. It's actually a quite effective system used extensively by human populations, especially where refrigeration is not available. A few handfuls of corn each day makes quite a bit of sense when electricity and refrigerators/freezers are not available. Anything that involves the killing of animals for human food is opposed by animal rights groups. The opportunity to attack any facility that turns animals into food will be taken advantage of by these groups, justified or not.

I never thought it did. My assumption was that it came from a lab.


No Jab.

Thanks for the explanation, EDP.

Id heard it stated as an accepted fact by a biologist that the lab in China was studying "what it would take for the corona 19 virus to jump to humans ".
But what wasnt clear is if a bat from the lab got into the wet market or exactly how the virus got out of the lab

Don't sweat the little stuff Yes sir. Wait till an F-5 hits Manhatton. With the stuff they expearamenting with in there, it will kill everybody from there to the east coast. What a bunch of geniuses to move it there from Plum Island. You probably won't have time to call Jake from State Farm.

I think this coronavirus is just a test run to see how fast something speads and how hard it is to stop it through quarantine. You know in case they want to use something that actually can cause a REAL pandemic.
