Holy sh*t.  This is really REALLY bad.  If animals are spreading the virus (and it gets into birds) guaranteed there will be a 20% cull in human population.  

Something to consider for those that allow pets to eat of their plates, sleep in their beds and slobber all over.

Many Indians idolize cows for religious purposes and would never eat one, yet us in the West love our steaks (myself included)! I have no problem with countries eating dog but the issue is that, if that video above is correct, they are essentially torturing the animals (skinning and cooking alive etc) prior to consumption.

Hopefully China can clean up their disgusting habits and act better in the future when it comes to food and people. The fact they keep live animals around raw food makes me wonder why we don't get more of this crap coming out of that country. I've heard some pretty insane stories from some Chinese friends that really disturbed me regarding food conditions.

China just banned the trade and consumption of wild animals. Experts think the coronavirus jumped from live animals to people at a market.

Believe it or not, that's a $74 Billion industry over there.

What I have problem with is killing animals out in the open in very unsanitary conditions.

Man in his 50s is first US coronavirus death as Seattle grapples with potential outbreak

 

The US may be dealing with a coronavirus outbreak in Seattle after officials confirmed the first death in the area.
 
"Health officials will be providing the latest updates regarding novel coronavirus cases in King County, including new people identified with the infection, one of whom died," the unusually deadpan release said.
 
The outbreak appears to be in a long-term care facility and little is known about the victim other than that he's a man in his 50s.
 
Trump earlier said the victim was "a medically high-risk patient in her 50s" and said the victim was "a wonderful woman." Officials have since confirmed it was a man and that he had no evidence of any link to anyone who had traveled to China.
 
Trump also said four other Americans "very ill".
 
What's also worrisome are reports that 27 residents of the facility and 25 staff are having respiratory problems.

 it was in Regards to the Democrats response towards the Government.. Context is important

Trump and officials actually have been very critical of the Chinese administration..Meanwhile the Democrats are throwing outrage towards Trump instead of the Chinese Government

You realize the Epoch Times is fake news.  They are owned by the Falun Gong.   Everything they publish or post in is anti-China.   

To be fair, the Falun Gong used to be promoted by the Chinese Communist Party a bit, not quite dissimilar to Tai Chi.

 

Suddenly their leader Jiang Zemin wanted to crack down on them as their numbers started to rise exponentially.  Gave him an easy excuse to expand those irregular police force under his authority to even outnumber the PLA.  

 

Epoch Times is anti-ChinaCPP... but the do report on things that have been censored by mainstream news.

Have you not seen the videos that leaked from China before they cracked down on censorship?

 

They definitely are aware. They know just how bad this is and slowly everybody here will realize it too. 

 

Edit: similar videos coming out of Iran too now. 

there was this twitter account i was following that showed the real situation happenings in China about the coronavirus that's not being shown in MSM... that account has been suspended by twitter... :sadno:
