I believe we should be focused on the virus, but when this world wide short down is over we shouldn't forget were this came from and put some international influence on shutting down the wild animal markets in China which no doubt will just spawn another coronavirus in the next decade. I don't respect any "tradition" that leads to havoc like this.

There is no proof that such markets are the link. Bats life close to humans almost everywhere on earth, and any contamination could have been the link.

This scenario of someone eating an infected, exotic animal is just blatant racism.

The wet markets have already been banned, the thing to exert pressure on now is proper enforcement.
