Don't get me started on how stupid and racist "wet market" ALWAYS was.
The question would be "why now?" There have been markets like this for, what, thousands of years? Why was this one special (unless, you know, it was near the lab where they made the viruses)
100% percent plays on "lololol look at the backwards bat eaters." So dumb.
- padjo 4y agoWhile I agree with the sentiment that the term wet market is quite pejorative, the sequence of events is very common and is what happened with the first SARS. New viruses make the leap to humans all the time. It’s evolution baby.
- jrm4 4y agoBut, if I'm understanding it correctly, "very common" cuts both ways here? Namely, zillions of "wet markets" and virus jumps and "evolution" takes care of killing the other viruses as well?
