Editor Note
People were exposed to the corona virus at a large seafood market selling many species of live animals in Wuhan, China.
Wuhan China isn't the only place in China that has open air markets that sell many species of live animals.
People in China have a penchant for consuming wild animals. Chinese are obsessive about freshness.
That means ANY wild animal, including beavers, porcupines, snakes, bat soup, rats, and live wolf pups ETC.
Wild animals are, of course, especially problematic because their murky provenience makes it difficult to ensure they are free of disease. For this very reason, health campaigns in Africa warn people against the consumption of “bush meat,” which has been linked to the spread of countless diseases, including HIV/Aids.
Scientists first thought that Ebola started with the consumption of bat meat in a village of south-eastern Guinea, they also believe that the two-year-old girl known as Child Zero could also have been infected via bat droppings that contaminated an object she put in her mouth.
MERS was also primarily spread from live camels to humans through association and the eating of camel meat.
Experts say that it’s hard to downplay the problematic nature of “wet markets” (so named because of the large quantities of water used to slosh the floors), especially those that also sell live animals.
A mixture of urine, feces and other bodily fluids from live, wild creatures ends up mixing with blood from butchered animals, providing ideal opportunities for viruses and bacteria to thrive.
Dr Huang: “As long as there are still wet markets, we will continue to see these outbreaks popping up.”

Viral footage purports to show a fashionable Chinese young woman biting one of the wings of a cooked bat at a fancy restaurant. The deadly coronavirus could come from the animal as it did with the SARS virus. (Bat Girl?)
The above info says, "cooked bat". At least it isn't raw bat or is it?
This is considered a delicacy in China.
Bats are a food source for humans in some areas. Bats are consumed in various amounts in some regions within some African, Asian, and Pacific Rim countries and cultures, including Vietnam, Seychelles, Indonesia, Palau, Thailand, China, and Guam. In Guam, Mariana fruit bats are considered a delicacy.

Despite the fact that regular consumption of bat meat was proven by scientists to be a potential cause of dementia and a rare neurological disorder, the Chamorro tribe in Guam just could not stop. Once you have bat, you never go back. Some of the evidence was circumstantial, to be fair to the aerial rodents, but bats in Guam love to eat the cycad plant, which is poisonous to humans.
Many of the natives, in turn, hanker for bat fat, which is where the animals store the plant toxins. For bat alternatives, head to Bali, Indonesia, where giant fruit bats are banquet favorites and are not a cause for hallucinations.

Eating BAT SOUP in North Sulawesi, Indonesia!
At 1:08 the man in the video admits you could die from eating a bat, but they do it anyway.
You can get the ebola virus from eating a bat and also the SARS virus.
The CDC "suspects" the origin or the Corona Virus could be a bat.
If you can get ebola and the SARS virus from eating a bat you can be sure you can also get the Corona Virus.
Road Kill Cafe's are common in Asia.
Various types of "road kill" are considered a delicacy or is considered good for your health!
They don't call it road kill in Asia. They kill live wild animals in open air street markets and sell various parts of the wild animal so its almost like road kill.
Can you believe this???????
This is all normal to people in Asia.
Chinese vendors kill porcupines (pictured at the Wuhan market) to extract an undigested material from their gut, which is believed to cure diabetes, dengue fever, and cancer.
This is the actual state of China's "health system".
China can't control what people eat in their open air "road kill" markets.
Can you imagine eating undigested material from a freshly killed porcupine's gut????
Its easier to understand why people are dying in China now from the Corona Virus.
I suspect there not just dying from the Corona Virus but a whole host of other diseases caused by eating fresh, road kill from their open air road kill markets.
____________________________________
Remember the term road kill in America means fresh meat obtained from a vehicle running into a wild animal.
Some people in America do eat road kill, especially a deer that has been hit.
People in Canada eat roadkill too.
So whats the difference?
Deer and elk are a lot different than bats and porcupines etc.
I do realize that people in China need to eat food from open air "road kill" markets but their type of road kill is not the same as in America and Canada.
If you eat uncooked "road kill" it is unsafe.
Cook the meat thoroughly.
This step is vital to ensure that you kill off pathogens or parasites (such as worms) that might be present in the meat.
People in Asia are eat RAW meat. Raw uncooked wild meat is not safe to eat.

Is road kill safe to eat?
Learn the signs of healthy roadkill. Roadkill is safe to eat in many instances but there are risks of rotting, rabies, and disease. You can avoid these risks by knowing what signs to look for and using common sense:
- Look for freshness. Obviously, if you have witnessed the animal being hit, it's fresh. In terms of coming across roadkill, signs of freshness include clear eyes, fleas still active on the fur or hide of the animal and general signs of it looking fresh. Rigor mortis sets in quickly, so stiffness of the body does not mean that the animal is not fresh.
- Use the temperature as a guide. Roadkill in winter is likely to remain fresher longer than roadkill in summer.
- Avoid roadkill that has maggots, fly, or other scavenging insect infestations, as this indicates a lack of freshness. However, the presence of fleas is a good sign and means that the animal is probably still edible.
- If the animal's eyes are milky, clouded, or white, it is less fresh but may still be edible.
- If it stinks of rotting flesh, trust your nose but be aware that there will be some stench just as a result of the impact, as wind, excrement, etc. is forced rapidly through the body. This odor may release when moving the carcass too, so odor isn't the sole indicator of the state of the meat.
- Look for whole roadkill. Roadkill that has to be scraped off the road because it has been flattened or is so crushed up as to be unrecognizable is not worth it and won't be healthy for you to consume. Avoid roadkill in the middle of roads. Instead, look along the side of roads, on the shoulders and beyond, where bodies often end up from impact or after crawling away from the hit point..
- Except in a survival situation, don't eat roadkill you aren't sure is fresh. Why risk your health? If the roadkill seems to be in good shape, you could still use the hide.
Thats a big important difference!
