What counts for wet market? Are fish/lobster tanks in the supermarkets ‘wet markets’?

The wet markets have to remain open. There needs to be a convenient excuse for what is taking place in China’s bio labs.

Not unless you haul them out of the water, roast all their hair off with a blow torch then commence to try to find edible pieces of meat chopped together with the entrails of the snake and camel your cousin slaughtered on the same table yesterday.

When shoppers reach into the lobster tank and begin eating them raw you'll have a point.

Not all wet markets sell weird animals to eat. But those that do should be closed. If they are just selling vegetables and Beef/Pork/Chicken like in HK, Taiwan or Singapore they are probably fine (Though they are still a bit dirty.

The world should stop trading with China.

All these people who have died . Human rights, environment laws being broken, Hong Kong, animals like Tigers , elephants being killed for backward thinking medicine etc etc etc.

Actually they should be made to pay for the misery , and the trillions spent in other countries trying to keep their economy going.

The Democrat party defended Iran after we took their General out, and now they defend China.
How much more does it take for their voters to wake the hell up?

I don't think so. I think the term comes from all the wet entrails from slaughtered animals that are just thrown on the ground........

A wet market is a marketplace selling fresh meat, fish, produce, and other perishable goods as distinguished from "dry markets" that sell durable goods such as fabric and electronics. Not all wet markets sell live animals, but the term wet market is sometimes used to signify a live animal market in which vendors slaughter animals upon customer purchase.

In Italy, they are called "Farmer's Markets" and we shopped them a lot when I was stationed there....best prosciutto and cheeses in the world...along with veggies and such....IMO

Bill Gates has much explaining to do. Gates enabled China and corrupt 3rd world officials to behave in such a way that made this pandemic a possibility. Shame on Gates. I expected more of him.
