As i understand, we are not 100% sure it came from there? But even if a slight chance exist, shouldnt those be closed?
Hard to argue with that.
The rest of the world needs to shame China into shutting this shit down.
Or at the very least if someone still wants to eat bats and dogs and whatever else, then it has to be better regulated by the government to lessen the chance of more outbreaks.
We're as close to 100% as we're going to get. The initial outbreak happened at a wet market in Wuhan.
You know, I would Atleast expect China to wait till the rest of the world is over the coronavirus.

lmao at the source, OP showing his true colors
I don't doubt that wet markets are back somewhere in China that hasn't been locked down as strictly as Wuhan, but the article this is based on is a rather sensationalist one in Daily Mail that seem intent on stoking racism.
And I know for a fact that social distancing measures have gotten stricter again in tier 1 cities like Shenzhen.

Get ready for the next one I guess
if it was just that we wouldn't be in this problem
articles about China that focus primarily on the sale of dogs for meat are likely written to stoke racism
Is the source incorrect?
If this is true, then I really hope that the strictest sanctions are imposed on China till Winnie The Pooh shuts them down. Because as clear as the day, from SARS to COVID19, it is only a matter of time till another epidemic followed by pandemic sweeps the world.
Wet market are reopening, there was never really any discussion of closing wet markets they banned wild animal trade and farming.
Most of wet market sell normal stuff fresh produce like a farmer market. There is normally also butcher shops, but like again they sell normal meat. (and i think they do the butchering offsite)
It's just here somehow people expected they would ban wet market in general, which are perfectly fine.
Pretty much all the images in the article come from stocks image...
Not saying there aren't any selling funny thing in the whole china, but hey it's huge country changes don't come immediately.

but they want to create their own version of the WHO and being global health leaders. What a Sham
The problem is the live animal warehousing and trade. That's how you get transmission from mammal to mammal to eventual zoonotic transmission to humans. If the animals are properly slaughtered and housed these kind of outbreaks would be significantly harder.
Oh! Oh God!
Well, as I said before, I just hope that wet markets are permanently closed. Vox did a great piece on this and highlighted how a small portion of the population with their appetites are the reason wet markets with their immense lobbying powers were able to reopen after SARS. Again, I don't believe China will comply w/o external pressure because... money.
These posts back to back... *wheeeew*
The markets don't need to be closed, they need to be properly regulated.
I visited about 3-4 different "normal wet market" in china and plenty more around Asia.
There is live poultry and seafood. That is about it.
Live poultry is definitively something they should ban. Other then that you don't see many of the things present in the article (given that they come from stock photo sites or they are not even in China)
Exhibit 1 that we'll believe anything we're told at face value regardless of (lack of) source if it reinforces our biases.
Yup, no one should be treating this article with legitimacy given Daily Mail's track record. It might be possible that these animal markets (I am not using the term wet market because a wet market is not synonymous of "exotic live animal market") have been reopened but this is not a reliable source to prove it.
Too bad most people in this thread are not even bothering checking what the source is because it confirms their preconceived notions about China and Chinese people.
But boycotting a country isn't racism. See boycotting israel.
China don't care. Their pandemic response plan worked exactly as they hoped it would: export the problem internationally, crack down on the populace until it's snuffed out at home, then close the borders to keep it from coming back.
Until another virus jumps from anteater meat into humans, of course.
