BEIJING (Reuters) - China has found the trading sections for meat and seafood in Beijing’s wholesale food market to be severely contaminated with the new coronavirus and suspects the area’s low temperature and high humidity may have been contributing factors, officials said on Thursday.

Their preliminary report comes as the country’s capital tackles a resurgence of COVID-19 cases over the past week linked to the massive Xinfadi food center, which houses warehouses and trading halls in an area the size of nearly 160 soccer pitches.

The latest outbreak infected more than 100 people and raised fears of wider contagion in China.

Among the patients who work at the Xinfadi market, most serve at seafood and aquatic product stalls, followed by the beef and mutton section, and patients from the seafood market showed symptoms earlier than others, Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a daily briefing on Thursday.

Low temperatures favorable to viral survival as well as high humidity might be possible explanations for why seafood markets could be a source of outbreaks based on a preliminary assessment, Wu said, cautioning that further investigation was necessary.

Because when meat rots it creates flies.

Good lord what’s happened to science in this world.

The meat handlers are obviously infected and not washing their hands.

It's been totally politicized in order to sell myths on behalf of the global elites.

Moist and fishy spreads the coronavirus.

Time to ask Anthony Fauci about Tinder again.

Wait. Dementia Joe said coronavirus was caused by global warming.

What a conundrum. Which pathological liar do we believe.

If they put masks on the fishes this wouldn’t happen. Dumbasses!

Oh Noes! We better shutdown America again!

Coronavirus...the scam that keeps on giving!

[Dana1960]

Now they’re claiming it comes from salmon.

It’s a respiratory disease, lungs. Salmon don’t have lungs.

A lib friend of me said yesterday that it’s a blood disease. I asked him if that’s true, why should we wear masks.

I’ll let you know when he responds.

In my time on this earth, I have learned a few things...

1. Never trust the mainstream media

2. Never trust communists, leftists, progressives, fake conservatives

3. Never trust the American deep state

4. Never trust corporate America

5. Never trust Acadamia

6. Trust in God for everything Including health, finances, etc.
