Blaming the Chinese

There have been many who have blamed China for COVID19.

Technically, they are right in that this horrific disease originated in Wuhan, as did SARS.

But we forget how MERS arose as well as H1N1.  H1N1, also known to the general public as Swine Flu arose in Mexico, in a pig farm.    The wet markets where COVID19 arose do exist in other parts of the world, including Africa as well as other areas in Asia.

My view is that the world should take action to reduce the risk of infections that cross the species barrier, but in addition to ending the wet markets where COVID arose, we need to act to end intensive farming across the globe.
