Do you have the causality backwards. The laboratory is in that region because there are local disease caring populations of animals. That’s what they study.
- MilnerRoute 7y agoAlso, the BSL-4 lab was 7 miles from the Wuhan market. Don't conflate the two. It is a city of 11 million people. You will find lots of things in such a large city.
- SidenKniffsBids 7y ago7 miles is not very far.
- salawat 7y agoI do not. See section 8.7 in the link. Most of the bats are endemic to a cave over 1000 miles away. The bats weren't common in Wuhan. If they were, it was most likely as a part of some active research project rather than because bat sounded like a great idea to add to the menu. I'm not a local, so I'll admit to not having primary experience of the area. But the pile of circumstantial evidence is non-bloody trivial and bares being given the courtesy of a looking into in parallel with the Market theory.
