So is the wild animal trade that introduced the virus? I mean if something is just shorthand for "things people do", it gets credit and blame for a lot of thing

  It's better defined as things people do freely, and out of self interest (that's flawed too, but it's better). And yep, that trade is "market" too. And it does get blamed for a lot of things, some of them unwarranted.

    Depending on what you mean by "self interest", it sounds like market forces are why people fall in love, nurture their children, volunteer at the hospice, listen to stories around the campfire, say their prayers at night, and brush their teeth before bed...
