With SARS there was pretty quickly a genetic link found to coronavirus in Civets, and later research found a similar link to coronavirus in horseshoe bats as maybe the origin for both the human and civet version.


I found this from Berkley:



here's MERS, coronavirus went maybe from bat to Camel to human



and SARS with official mainland numbers

It's a reasonable measure to try to stop the spreading of the outbreak. The UK wouldn't do it because "saving face" is very important to western politicians, and they can never acknowledge something bad happening that could potentially be stopped by setting reasonable countermeasures.

I need a security perimeter with Venetian blinds.
Local customs aside, getting involved with bats in any way is just Bad News as far as viruses are concerned. A bunch of factors come together to make them perfect vectors.

Eat whatever, whenever, but avoid bats.

It's quite possible that this whole crisis is manufactured by CIA. Realizing the trade war will never defeat revolutionary spirit of Chinese people, CIA agents might have being sent to inject animals with genetically engineered virus in food markets in order to precipitate a shutdown of Wuhan to slow down the Chinese economy.

it really shows how much people care about each other in Asia, by wearing mask when you have flu, it decreases risks of spreading it. Unlike in USA when people are practically trying to sneeze up contagion all over each other.

I read on wechat rumor they fired the Wuhan mayor already. That's pretty fast.

Also all Wuhan hospitals are full. If you are young and infected, you are better off lock yourself in your room and tough it out.
