It could be they are in close proximity together, my point is that there are studies showing that bats by themselves are linked to many of these diseases showing itself in many diseases including the original SARS it was determined the virus went from bat to pangolin or monkey then to human. All the creatures can be found in the most horrid of conditions in the wet markets across China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand and I am sure I am leaving a few out. It’s a smorgasbord of hell for a virus to grow in.
The government there makes it worse because as you said they are the CCP a totalitarian state and I would add every bit as evil to its core as the military junta of Japan in the 1930’s. Only being held to check by the west and somewhat Japan of today.
Ya I know it didn’t come from bat soup, once the food is cooked in many cases blow torches on the spot it kills many of the diseases I probably should have made it more clear. My point is the bats they are eating come from wet markets were these bats are not in some protected refrigerators but sitting outside side by side with other exotic creatures for consumption, laying in blood, chopped up on dirty streets, and laying in their own excrement.
As long as the wet markets are doing this they we will continue to see viruses even if this particular one they eventually find out it came from a lab. I have been reading a book called “Death by China” by Peter Navarro written in 2011 describing in detail that the biggest threat from China was a global pandemic, that would wipe out the world economy.
How so? Japan is one of my favorite countries with a rich, fascinating history. I worked their for six months and have traveled there quiet a few times last being 2014 which doesn’t make me an expert but I love the place.
People in certain parts of the US eat squirrels, possum, and god knows what else. Add wings and you have a bat. I love lobster and crab, but they’re basically just giant bugs.
It’s so different, then add to the way this stuff is just laying on the street blood everywhere chopping it up on the dirty pavement while the stall beside that is boiling a cat alive and the guy next to him blow torching a dog alive.
