SHANGHAI (AFP): The food market where China's deadly virus surfaced was a smorgasbord of exotic wildlife ranging from wolf pups to species linked to previous pandemics such as civets, according to vendor information and a Chinese media report.

The Huanan Seafood Market in the central city of Wuhan came under greater scrutiny on Wednesday as Chinese officials said that the virus which has so far killed nine people and infected hundreds may have originated in a wild animal sold at the food emporium.

"Freshly slaughtered, frozen and delivered to your door," said the price list for the vendor,"Wild Game Animal Husbandry for the Masses". AFP was unable to directly confirm the authenticity of the price list. Phone calls to the vendor went unanswered, and attempts to connect to its social media accounts were rejected.

A number of the early sufferers of the virus, now known as the 2019 Novel Coronavirus , were employees of the market. Dr Walzer said 70 per cent of all new infectious diseases come from wildlife, with habitat encroachment increasing the chances of pathogens spreading. Bats are thought to have spawned Sars, which in 2002 to 2003 killed hundreds of people in Asia, mostly China.

It's not because China is evil, it's because they have 1.3 billion people to feed ~3 meals a day, & if they did not do the OneChildFamiliesWorldwideNow years ago,they would have 800 million more people to feed. Anything Food is needed desperately TulsiGabbard pontifex Pledge
