    A wet market is a market selling live meat, fish, produce, and other perishable goods as distinguished from "dry markets" which sell durable goods such as fabric and electronics.[1] Wet markets are common in East Asia and Latin America, but are also found in traditional open-air markets in Europe, North America and Oceania.

    This is assumed to be the cause of covid19 and the reason we ALLOW Trump to blame the CHINESE virus.

    The truth is, we are encroaching on wild animals habitat due to deforestationetc, and climate change, scooching them to OUR regions. Thus, we have to fight off cougars and coyotes, that will eat us or our pets.

    In China, the bats used to have their own space, now they are in our space. And, our connected world, which used to isolate the folks that got CROSSOVER viruses from wild animals, now infects us all.

    This is not necessarily due to wet markets, even though many still use rhino horns and such.

    To blame Chinese for the virus, is simply a memonic device, used by our blame avoidance potus, to insulate himself from any culpability. He will reinforce that, so that he can win reelection, which is topmost above all other concerns. Even your life.

    But, I expect those that think Trump royal, will continue to blame the folks that first were infected, for EATING forbidden fruit.

    Oh! another China Loyalist who wants to blame Donald Trump for this Pandemic the Chinese infected the World with. Donald Trump has been pushing to have better Border security and wanted to limit travel from areas that are a threat to the United States, but the Democrats have done nothing but fight him on these issues. Now that the Crap has hit the Fan and we have a Coronavirus epidemic in the United States, all Liberals want to do is point fingers at President Trump and say he's responsible. Yes! I blame the Chinese, because the Chinese Coronavirus came from CHIIIINA! not the United States. These Wet Markets in China are nothing but Breeding grounds for Pathogens, it's a Sickening Slaughterhouse were almost every Animal imaginable is killed, while customers watch and the streets run red with blood. China is an absolute Evil Country and we should Ween ourselves off Chinese goods.

    It doesn't really matter if the first person in Wuhan caught coronavirus from eating snakes or bat turds or french fries, the fact is that if China had been more honest and transparent from the beginning, we'd be leaps and bounds ahead of where we are now. And if China had imposed a quarantine and lockdown on people leaving China, the disease could probably have been almost entirely limited to China. And before anyone cries about China holding Americans hostage for a quarantine, might I point you towards the lockdowns and deaths and losses of freedoms and the teetering economy we now have in America because we let these people back in. (I'm pretty sure Italy would agree with me, too.)

    Anyone who wants to sympathize with China can suck bat testicles for all I care.

    Was Trump honest, that ANYONE who needs a test gets one? Was trump honest that we will soon be down to one, or none persons infected? Was Trump honest, that the virus will MIRACULOUSLY disappear?

    Why do we refer to flu a or b instead of JOE BLOWS flu?

    The Chinese government made the world aware of the problem on December 31 2019.

    I agree, China's leaders and America's leaders should not of played it down early on - that increased the level of fear when people learned they were lied too

    the reality is, this was such a fast spreading air-born virus, there was no way to stop it once it was out, China thought they could, America thought they could.... it just could not be done.. not realistically
