Farmers' markets never closed here in Alameda County which is a lot more densely populated than Los Altos. I think the risk of transmitting respiratory diseases in the outdoors is wildly overstated. Also, people gotta eat.

Nah, it is not overstated. Last time I checked, Wuhan marke was outdoors.

When did you check last?

Nothing about the photographs I have seen of the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market suggests "outdoors".

No doors, roof only. I consider it outdoors. Anyways, in my country open markets get disenfected twice a week, and yet they still find infections through contact tracing, originated from the sellers at these markets.
