Inside the ‘wet markets’ where scientists believe coronavirus came from

60 Minutes Australia gives viewers an eye-opening if not frightening look at the wet markets where coronavirus began. The experts go with the 60 Minutes Australia crew into the hot zones and tell us what animal they believe started the worldwide pandemic. They also share why they believe this is not the only deadly virus that could emerge from these wet markets. This is informative investigative journalism you’ll want to watch to better understand the drastic measures US leaders are taking to get this deadly virus contained.

A strict ban on the consumption and farming of wild animals is being rolled out across China in the wake of the deadly coronavirus epidemic, which is believed to have started at a wildlife market in Wuhan.

Although it is unclear which animal transferred the virus to humans — bat, snake and pangolin have all been suggested –China has acknowledged it needs to bring its lucrative wildlife industry under control if it is to prevent another outbreak.

Here is the Reader’s Digest version. China is a filthy place, jam packed with filthy people who will eat anything they can get their filthy hands on, and without any regard to suffering of live animals, or basic hygiene. It’s a perfect storm for pathogenic virii to gain a foothold.

Disinformation. The thing went through the wet market, but didn’t originate there.

A few threads down, it says they don't believe that.

Not as perfect as the Level 4 Bio “Research” facility down the street from said market.

There are no bio-weapons labs in the Congo basin, and they breed their fare share of nasty things just by consuming “bush meat” which is a polite word for anything that will sit still long enough to be clubbed to death.

Yeah, and it magically moved on google maps after the news broke.
Nothing to see here.
Just google doing what China money says to do.

_______

Where did it originate and what is your source?

Alright let’s break this down. Bats are in hibernation during December. So it is unlikely this came from a bat who bit a dog who got eaten by someone in Wuhan.

IMO, this more likely came out of one of the bioweapons labs in Wuhan. How? It is even more speculative. Either there was some kind of human error, perhaps having to do with the then impending Chinese New Year, that caused someone to break protocol/take shortcuts and released the virus on a shirt sleeve or via direct infection because they were rushing to meet some kind of deadline (holiday, government/management mandate etc).

Or, they were testing on some animals, and instead of incinerating the animal some enterprising Chinese trash collector decided he would sell the infected animal to the meat market. Something along those lines.

Anything worse would be industrial bio-warfare, which is not impossible but would more likely be sabotage because why would the Chinese deliberately infect their own people? I don’t think it is that but you cannot rule it out.

But to believe this was a single mutation that randomly occurred and spread like it has does not really compute. They would have caught onto it sooner. It’s possible, I admit, but seems unlikely.

Yes there is. I’m just pointing out that it’s not a necessary condition.

Can you imagine if this virus originated in some Christian enclave by white men performing some dangerous ancient ritual? There would be endless chatter in the media laying blame on Christians, Caucasians and men for destroying the world.

Instead, you have to look far and wide for stories line this because it originated by nonwhite people in a communist country.

” ...eye- opening if not frightening ...”

Not our next Hemingway or F. Scott Fitzgerald methinks.

No way in blue hell will I watch another video of dogs being tortured, abused and slaughtered.

I have enough nightmares to last me a lifetime.

I know someone who visited once. The “approved” areas the ChiComs what you to see look nice and clean, but they said once you go out of those areas it was awful.
