It feels like, while the reaction is quieter and started differently than many countries, it's headed in the same direction as everywhere else

Zeriel posted:They typically don't kill the chicken or goat or bat or pangolin right in front of you at farmers markets. We've got a farmers market here in Decatur that will kill a fish for you like that and they're being yelled at for not having any health standards for customers or employees and their check out people are apparently yelling at people who want to wipe down the card readers. The owner said some poo poo like "we pressure wash the carts tho!" But they just leave them in the rain and every time I've driven by the parking lot is PACKED. Here's the article but you gotta view mobile or kill ad block https://decaturish.com/2020/04/your-dekalb-farmers-market-owner-responds-to-concerns-about-store-safety-during-pandemic/

just lmfao that Israel, a religious ethnostate, is ripping orthodox religious leaders out of their pants on the street and throwing them in jail for facilitating the spread of COVID, but in the US the notion that Whitmer could do the same to DeVos for exactly the same reasons is just unthinkable

The ban on selling wild game that went into effect is likely going to help poo poo loads if they keep it and enforce it, but yeah I don't expect the problem ever to fully go away, just hopefully severely reduce the probability of this happening again. Of course, thats what all the beans and lentils are for.

the only reason that a western wet market equivalent hasn't taken hold in the US is because the upper middle class and otherwise well off people here have been conditioned from birth alongside everybody else to not think about how their meat comes from living things. That's it. Without that we'd have a live slaughter counter in every Whole Foods. We do it with fish and boil lobsters alive already, it's no stretch to say that without the cultural factors it'd be done to non-aquatic creatures too

I can totally see a contractor dumping poo poo into the local dump to save a couple kuai except I don’t think most of the conspiracy theorists are really arguing that it was an accidental release. even though they may hint at an accident, the actual thrust of it is that the ccp engineered it to maliciously hurt their competition. so while an accidental release is possible, the only people pushing for an investigation into the lab theory have absolutely no interest in uncovering an accident.

Our two biggest cities are both on the borders with Kansas and Illinois. You would have to group all three of them together because tons of people work in one state but live in another.
