I'm curious to learn more about this. Where can I read into this?

Here's one place I found. But searching "COVID wet market" and "Pangolin COVID" will yield a treasure trove of articles talking about it.

This link isn't specific to the pangolin theory, but it's a readable review of a very competent debate about COVID origins, so I'd recommend it (and the debate it reviews) for those curious about the state of the arguments (as of early 2024): https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/practically-a-book-review-r...
