But nearly half of the first victims had no contact with the market.
I wonder if something got poured down the wrong sink or something was misplumbed and it ended up in the river. And the animals therein. And the market by accident. Would have possibly exposed other people who were near the river, dunno.
We’ll likely never know the truth and those that did have gotten a bullet in the head.
They didn’t need direct contact with the market. Live animals were involved. Chinese like their meat fresh.
The market was just a convenient fall guy.
