why would listen to people who have a long history of wet markets?....do we really take their advice?

If they’d had the human common sense to promote the wearing of masks, they would have had the intelligence and ethics to have been heavily stocked with masks in advance. If retail inventory is taxed in ways to our detriment, then that issue needs to be revisited, too.

Everybody in Asia has a long history of wet markets?

Not everyone is a vegetarian here either.

It’s mostly spread by oral-fecal, as well or more. The main vectors are now the hospitals and health care workers.

"One NY hospital doc said, 'This is not aerolsol-ized. You can’t get it in the air unless someone coughs right in your face.'"

LOL! Pretty sad joke, though, considering what's predictably happening in New York.

If the virus isn't airborne, how the hell are there so many infected??!!!

Is every stupid person touching their mouth when they got it in their hands???!!!!
