Wuhan Wet Market Accountability

[AverageContents]

I know this is a stupid question, which is why I can't ask anyone irl!

Why hasn't the wet market in Wuhan been held accountable for this pandemic? Why is it allowed to operate as it always has?

Because the powers at be know it didn’t start there

But saying that, the powers at be, not necessarily in U.K. but other countries have said they will hold china accountable

Just not the wet market specifically

Yes, China is well known for it's proactive response to the world community.

What, string up some poor Chinese stallholder? Not the governments who allowed flights to come in hourly?

They can't prove it

Also, accountable to whom?

Seems to have gone very quiet on the source of all this hasn’t it 🤔
Every nation is preoccupied on dealing with the pandemic and investigation at the moment just wouldn’t benefit anyone. At some point though someone needs to look into it but I suspect that’s for another time

Because it is no longer generally believed to have started there.

It’s just a theory that it started there. Also, what sort of assets do you think the wet market has to cover that level of liability? What would be the point?

How do you hold a wet market accountable? Do you just pick and choose who you want to punish or should everyone who works and shops there be held accountable, too?

This is ridiculous.

Exactly Funny how there’s the worlds leading laboratory facility there that investigates coronaviruses ..... Occam’s (sp?) razor is it called ??

There is currently an international team of scientists from the WHO in Wuhan researching the source of Covid 19.
To date, all they know is that the source is natural mutation of a bat virus. In other words, it’s not a genetically engineered bio weapon.

So many reasons.

How do we know it came from China? Yes China spotted it, the new strain has been spotted here but we don’t really know it started here.

How would you hold them accountable? What would you want to happen? Which Chinese people would you like to hold accountable? The rich ones? The poor ones? The farmers?

Other counties and lots of them have appalling animal welfare standards. Have you seen all those chicks shoved in barns. This will happens again if we continue treating animals badly. More germs will cross over.

But, but it was 5G?

To those asking how it could be b held accountable, perhaps it could cease to trade. Live animals shouldn't be kept and traded like that.
Why were bats being sold anyway? To eat? Are they bred are caught in the wild?

This is quite interesting. If you want to have a look.

Where is it likely to have started from, if not there?

I've read about the 5G conspiracy, but know that this has been rubbished.

Live animals shouldn't be kept and traded like that.

Many people in China disagree.

Why were bats being sold anyway? To eat?

Yes, they eat them.

Wet markets have been the source of viral infections in the past and so there has to be a correlation.
The illegal bush meat trade is also a source of viral infections too. There is currently a virus in the Congo that is killing humans and the scientists cannot identify this particular strain but it seem to show the same symptoms of Ebola. This new virus seems to originate in bats.

How long before that virus goes global is anyone's guess!!

The biochemistry lab in Wuhan maybe?

They test and develop zoonotic coronaviruses there so it would be quite convenient

How is eating a bat any different to forcing a pipe down a ducks mouth and force feeding it corn and fat, to fatten their liver so they can be slaughtered and their live eaten?

How is eating a bat that different from celebs eating sheep’s testicle? and that’s entertainment.

It’s 100% not anything to do with 5g 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don't think it, ethically, is different to force-feeding any animal. Nothing to do with this pandemic, but I don't think that should happen either.

My point is that if viruses are arising from this wet market, than surely it shouldn't be allowed to exist.

Thank you for the FT.com link. That's very interesting.

I know it's nothing to do 5G. I mentioned that already.

Where does any virus start? The virus is a new strain of SARS, which also caused an epidemic in China back in the early 2000s. It's likely been brewing for years and eventually one unlucky person got infected, and then it started to spread and here we are. But the earliest known case was a person who hadn't been to the Wuhan market, so I don’t think it had anything to do with it other than it was a crowded space so it was easy for the virus to spread.
