“How can we not be united against death?” (snip) From this point on, there can be nothing that takes priority over shutting down the Chinese exotic-animal trade and wet markets. Nothing. The Chinese should be subjected to the same sanctions and restrictions meted out to white South Africans during apartheid, until the wet markets are closed and exotic animal traders gulag’d like Uighurs. The death toll from COVID has already—in one month—matched and doubled the entire 55-year death toll from apartheid.

Pretty soon our chickens and turkeys will be sent to China to be plucked gutted and cut up,then they will be sent back here to our groceries.
Hopefully the process will be more sanitary than the wet markets.

The world should shut down China completely. They have been exporting viruses for years.

First of all, NO, we should not be telling China how to do things in its own country (we wouldn't want the reverse). And secondly, you're not going to stop this practice because this is how starving or near-starving people in a third-world country eat.

#3, agree! How are you supposed to feed a billion people by disrupting their food markets?
It's not that simple as banning wet markets. Reality check: 3rd world countries are hell holes.
They can't even get 3rd w c's to stop pooping outside in the open.
I am sorry, but all you can do is delink from China. Which our very stable genius President has been leading since the Trade War.

There is NO proof that the wet markets in China caused this virus just as there is NO proof that bats or simians are the cause of Ebola outbreaks in Zaire. Many people pretend to know based on weak circumstantial evidence but this kind of proof is only good enough for the media, not science.

Sorry OP, but until we see definitive proof otherwise, I have to go with Tucker that this was something to do with that lab. To end the wet markets, the world would have to force Beijing to totally change their entire country and their culture. Literally the entire culture, and overnight. Not gonna happen, not now, not ever.
China has billions to feed, and since they cannot produce enough normal food to feed their population thanks to communism, they are going to feed them in any way they can. Do we also take away their traditional medicine as well? I cannot even think about the poor animals in those markets. But that is on Beijing and communism.

Sorry but the Chinese eating these animals (kept in horrible conditions) are NOT starving peasants. You've read to many Pearl Buck books. Look at the photos and videos of these markets - you see well dressed Chinese customers. The markets are located in large cities and these animals are sold for top dollar because they have some extra value than r=ordinary chicken or pork. And the Chinese govt. aka CCP, is always telling us what to do - see their new membership on the UN Human Rights Commission.
I blame the Chinese people for this gutter appetite for animals that are illegally trapped, often endangered and cruelly treated. I blame the CCP because they could shut these markets down and any b lack markets that opened instead. It was Chinese immigrants to the US that brought in the non-native snakehead that escaped or was released by some Chinese person in Maryland and has devastated local fresh fish and actually gotten into the Potomac River. And no, the Chinese are not like me.

I think it might be more important to shut down their bio weapons labs rather than their food markets. It is more likely that this virus coming out of one of the two that are located in Wuhan than the open air slaughter market. One of these two labs held over 600 bats for experimentation so my guess it is a more likely candidate for a source than a market that at the time was not selling bats. I am not saying the Chinese did this deliberately although do we know what the politics of the Province was when this happened? I doubt it. We never know much about what is going on behind that golden door. The Wet market is a nice tale but I doubt it is true. I doubt the Chinese would be quite so secretive if it were. And why shut down 50 million people unless you knew what was likely to occur? It might be nice if we had a press that was at least just a tiny bit curious. I guess getting to the bottom of the real mystery here is a little too dangerous and it wouldn't hurt Trump so why bother.

I agree with above posters who say people in China are not starving. I think we have every right to tell China that, if they want us to treat them like a civilized country worth traveling to and doing business with, they need to come out of the 14th century or whatever. And that is not to mention the fact that these markets apparently spread diseases, including the Wuhan flu.

Since China is the source of so many of these deadly plagues, how about a mandatory 14-day forced quarantine for any person arriving in the U.S. from China, or whose travel originated there. They should be thoroughly screened as potential carriers of disease before they're allowed to leave their point of entry.

Author makes the case that this is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that viral transmissions from bats to humans via intermediaries in China go on to plague the rest of the world. Slams Tucker and others in the media who take the path of lesser resistance (and, thereby, play into the hands of the communist government) by blaming an unsubstantiated lab accident rather than the third-world culture of the peasantry.
