Did the virus come from a “wet market” — dastardly stands where a plethora of wild and domestic animals are gutted or sold live, their blood, excrement, and entrails often mixed together on the floor. Fish. Dogs. Frogs. Donkeys. Snakes. Rats<\/a><\/span>. Even small bears<\/a><\/span>. It is not a pretty picture, but easy to see how a virus from one species could contaminate another, including\u00a0homo sapiens<\/em>. Some believe the coronavirus came directly from bats<\/a><\/span>, which are eaten in a soup by some Chinese and that without question harbor various kinds of coronavirus. The wet market often cited in Wuhan did not sell bats<\/a><\/span>, but some do and it did peddle an anteater called the pangolin that may have gotten it from a bat. Or, an accident at a laboratory only kilometers away — or employees from the lab — may have unknowingly carried it to the market, where it was amplified. Wet markets have been implicated in previous outbreaks, including SARS and swine flu<\/a><\/span>. Whatever the case, when it comes to unsanitary conditions, as well as how we treat God’s creatures, photographs tell the story [caution, disturbing and graphic] .<\/p>\n
