Good Monday morning.
Whether you believe that this virus originated in a lab or a wet market, the virus came from bats. Almost all other previous epidemic infections came from animal sources, jumping over to humans, AKA zoonotic infections.
Before we get too critical of the markets in Wuhan, we should look in our open backyards, and I am not even speaking of our CAFOs (Confined Animal Factory Operations).
We have our own wet markets.
It’s time to stop torturing and eating animals.
In case you missed it, Bill Maher did a great “New Rules” segment on just this topic. I posted it earlier but it is worth re-posting. I’ll probably do it again.
Stay safe and be well.
