I thought it was pretty obvious.

I visited the Tai Po wet market in Hong Kong, and it's quite obvious why the term "wet" is used
I go to tai po pretty often, and it isn't so bad. The seafood markets aren't the problem. Hell, even the meat stalls aren't a major issue... It's the wild or exotic animal markets that frighten me. But tai po doesn't have those (I don't know of any in Hong Kong, just mainland).
Most wet markets are predominantly produce and are great for fresh vegetables.

What do wet markets have to do with the current pandemic? Are y'all really still buying the story that it started in the wet market?

I really hope people are not dumb enough to fall for this. How long have these “wet markets” existed? Now we are to believe it started a worldwide virus. Wake up idiots, this was man made from the Bio Lab located feet from the featured “wet market”

I think the question is, did the Chinese CDC scientist take the bats to the wet market after he finished his experiments?

I guess it's all that blood mixing together from all them warm blooded animals, and bats and snakes getting their heads chopped off. You know the floor stays wet all the time and all them virus just mixing and matching and Covidin.

So this is called Covid 19 right? So given this is a designer virus how soon after we find a cure for Covid 19 can we expect to get hit with Covid 20?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Because that is what you do to your pants when you see what exactly you are walking through when you go to one.

In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. For years infectious disease experts warned us that these wet markets were likely to spawn a pandemic from a novel virus.

Son unless you can point to some real evidence to the contrary, then sure. Why wouldn't I believe it?

Similar to the old term for killing someone - "wet work", because blood was spilled.

The spread probably actually did start spreading in a wet market after Winnie the Pooh determined that would be a good place to hit many people at once so that is where he ordered the labs to bust viles

I'm considering become a vegetarian. The rise of new viruses can occur and has occurred in American meat farms as well.

Because they are selling fresh and live goods instead of dry goods.
