1. This is racist. 2. It wasn’t caused by *eating* bats. 3. This is racist. 4. We eat * lots* of animals in the US. 5. This is racist. 6. Bats transmit diseases like rabies right here in the US-without eating them. 7. This is racist.https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/2869342001?__twitter_impression=true …

I believe in science.The Chinese wet markets were absolutely the environment that lead to this pandemic. Live exotic animals, under stress, with lowered immune systems, held in cages next to each other, killed, slaughtered, eaten. SARS-CoV-2 has both bat, pangolin, & human dna.

Transmission from animals to humans is often through respiratory and fluid transmission. Not necessarily from eating the animals. Although obviously some human diseases come from eating. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoonosis

I'm not being rude, but have you ever Googled "Chinese wet market". All the animals are alive and breathing, in cages on top of one another. I never said Covid-9 was transmitted from eating an animal.

You used the word “eaten” in your reply. I get that those animals were in horrific conditions. Stressed, etc as you mentioned. But when you said “eaten” you seemed to imply that that was the mode of transfer to humans. Yes, they were there to be eaten. Never disputed that.
