Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the White House coronavirus task force, said Friday China and other nations should be pressured to shut down so-called wet markets as the new novel coronavirus spreads throughout the world.
[They] should shut down those things right away, Fauci told 'Fox & Friends" Friday. It just boggles my mind that when we have so many diseases that emanate out of that unusual human-animal interface that we dont just shut it down.
Scientists have yet to determine exactly how the novel coronavirus spreading around the globe began infecting people. But theories have swirled that the virus originated in bats, then infected another animal that passed it to humans at a market in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
The Chinese government has allowed some wet markets in the country to reopen as the coronavirus threat has reportedly decreased, but the one in Wuhan remains closed, according to Fox News. The Hunan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was linked to an early large cluster of coronavirus cases, according to The Washington Post. Chinas wet markets sell dead and living animals for human consumption and are known for lack of hygiene and government oversight.

fresh bat, cat or dog. yum.
Remember Prince Philip’s so-called “gaffe”:
If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.
Probably because the Chinese know damned well thats not where it started. <<
Maybe Schumer knows where and how it started....He hinted he did long before it actual started...

You see? The full court press is on to blame anything BUT the Chinese communist bio-labs, and divert any attention away from them.
That just makes me more and more suspicious of this entire operation. Yesterday it was Linda Graham deflecting, today it’s Fauci.
Why?
The virus didn’t come from a wet market.
There were NO bats present or for sale at the Wu Han wet market. That coming from witnesses who were at the market before the outbreak.
Coincidentally, there’s a biolab nearby, experimenting on bats and corona virus. But you still want to blame wet markets and bats?
As I said, we do not know what the specific vector was. However, we do know that wet markets have been vectors in the past and left alone they will be vectors in the future.
This is freshman level epidemiology. There are lots of published papers and studies on this. It is very bad public policy and in the past it did not impact us, but with international travel now what they eat there can impact us here.
Here is a 2003 article on SARS and it explains why these markets are potentially lethal to humanity.
https://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2003-07/sars-where-did-it-come/
Never in human history have we seen international travel like we do now. It is a different era in that “regional” pandemics had little potential to spread so rapidly throughout the world.
Because it is the Chi-com Elite who can afford live pangolin, civet cat and bat soup=== the videos are disgusting baseball bats taken to dogs and cats, an fishheads kept alive in srper oxygenated water still flapping gills when sold.
Govt ban on these mkts was abandponed because of the money to be made, and the payoffs to commissars.
Thanks for posting that. I was just about to.
One takeaway from that article; the Wuhan “wet market” is about 900 miles from the nearest bat cave where coronaviruses in bats has been found. Unlikely any of those bats were sold at the Wuhan seafood market.
Another takeaway is that the first confirmed case of Covid-19 had no exposure to the market.
As for Fauci’s statement that these markets are an “unusual human-animal interface” that would be news in China where they have likely operated for 3k to 4k years.
Do you still think there were bats for sale to eat at the Wu Han market? Since eye witnesses say they were not, are you backing away from that claim? Bio scientists have specified that this virus came from bats, now where were bats present? Only in the bio labs that were experimenting on the virus. Not in the market.
It kinda’ makes a big difference when you take all factors and evidence into account. Not just that wet markets have maybe been responsible in the past. It really looks to me like the ChiComs are scapegoating the markets.
And it’s NOT that I want them kept open. I just think they are conveniently jumping to conclusions and trying to pedal a line of BS to cover their asses. That’s one of the things communists of all stripes have always done the best.
Spot-on.
Whats more mind boggling is that idiots think locking down the nation will make us all OK.
I think we know where the virus came from....
...and the twisted witch who combined the elements to make a new bat flu:
Fauci is a fool
Yep. It’s not proof but it’s becoming one heck of a strong circumstantial case at this point. I believe the proof, many proofs, will be found and probably not too long from now. China is going to be eating something worse than bat soup when the world sees it.
I was on the fence until I read the article you linked to.
Saw your link to it yesterday I believe.
Maybe China’s politbureau knows this virus didn’t come from one of the Wuhan wet markets.
