Well, now that I threw this skunk over the wall, it's fun to see the commotion...
Time will tell. Hopefully, this can be brought under control and suffering will be limited. I truly wish the best for the people of China.
It should be noted that like SARS, this likely came from the habit eating exotic wildlife. A bat or pangolin... time will tell. (Some believe SARS came from a type of Civet Cat)
I read an article during the SARS outbreak about the wild meat market in China. It seems they slaughter all types of wild animals there and at the end of the day, power-wash the sidewalks which atomizes the biological matter into breathable aerosols - a possible origin.
Oh Noes! I missed my chance to try "sanitary" kopi luwak? /s
