This has pissed me off as well. For a while I've somewhat liked listening to Sam Harris but his rant on banning wet markets because they're barbaric came across as hyper racist. The LA times has another perspective https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2020-03-11/coronavirus-china-wet-markets https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2020-03-11/coronavirus-ch... If you're going to claim no one should be able to produce or buy food in a way that might produce disease then maybe point a finger at the USA chicken and pork farms. To call out China as "special" seems hypocritical the say the least. Just because they eat something different. Koreans find the French to be barbaric because they eat cute little bunny rabbits. The point being don't be xenophobic because we eat something different than you.
