Is it possible?

And there are certain diseases prevalent in wild meat which cause diseases in humans. E.g. ebola.

Hunters in cave man times didn't have a very long life expectancy.

You would hope so OP. Sadly we wont

The virus wasn't from a lab *@PicsInRed*

So you think it is purely coincidental that the virus started in Wuhan and the original host was from bats and the virus was most closely related to SARS ( which incidentally China confirmed as being caused by three separate Lab leakages in Beijing).

AND Wuhan has a virus lab in Wuhan that specialises in viruses from bats led by virologist Shi Zhengli who has identified dozens of deadly SARS like viruses from bat caves, that a recent WHO investigation has been denied permission to explore the Lab leak theory and that all the published online research by the Wuhan Lab has been removed.

There's a BBC article here about the WHO inspectors' arrival in China and the work they claim to hope to do: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-55657781

Unfortunately, as it points out, they're "heavily reliant on the Chinese for access" ... so good luck with that

Lol. That is just an opinion piece. There are opinion pieces on both sides of the argument.

There is absolutely no evidence that the BBC or the CCP have ever lied to the public or mislead them in any way.

A wet market is just somewhere that sells fresh food. Your local farmers' market is a wet market. Asda is a super-wet-market.

If you mean you're concerned about on-site slaughter, or the wildlife, then say so, but the use of the term "wet market" in the OP is illiterate.

Well crack on with instituting world government.

Comparing a farmers market or a supermarket to a wet market in a second or third world economy is both asinine and a deliberate attempt to belittle the dangers of inherent in food hygiene in poorer parts of the world.

You do it to provoke argument whilst deliberately ignoring the hygiene issues that are the foundation of the discussion.

If you do have a real point to make, why not base it in fact, present your opinion, and back that opinion up with a coherent argument.

Seriously 🤦🏼‍♀️

@AvocadosBeforeMortgages a supermarket is not a wet market!

A wet market (also called a public market[1][2][3] or a traditional market) is a marketplace selling fresh meat, fish, produce, and other perishable goods as distinguished from "dry markets" that sell durable goods such as fabric and electronics.[4][5][6] Not all wet markets sell live animals,[1][7][8][9] but the term wet market is sometimes used to signify a live animal market in which vendors slaughter animals upon customer purchase,[10][11][12] such as is done with poultry in Hong Kong.[13] Wet markets are common in many parts of the world,[14][15][7][16][9] most notably in the Asia-Pacific. These include a wide variety of markets, such as farmers' markets, fish markets, and/or wildlife markets.[1][8][17][18] They often play critical roles in urban food security due to factors of pricing, freshness of food, social interaction, and local cultures.[1][2][3]

Lol. Avocado is just trolling and hooked yous.
