BEIJING, Jan 30 — The seafood market in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, may not be the only source of the novel coronavirus outbreak, Xinhua news agency reported a Chinese pulmonary disease specialist as saying. The first patient, who was admitted to Huang's hospital on December 1, 2019, had no direct exposure to Wuhan's Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, which was previously considered as the source of the epidemic, and his family had no fever or respiratory symptoms, according to the paper.
“Judging from the whole situation, the seafood market may not be the only source. might be multi-source,” Huang said.The Huanan seafood market is located in the downtown area of the city's Jianghan District, less than one kilometre away from Hankou railway station. Besides seafood, poultry and game meat were also sold in the market before it was shut down on January 1.
Of course not, there are plenty of markets in China where live animals are chopped up alive.
Plausible.
