The virus story that seems to be missing

We hear about flareups. We hear about testing. We hear which countries seem to be doing well and which countries seem to be doing poorly. We hear lots of blame game stuff, and we hear endless stuff about masks.

What I haven’t heard much about lately is the origin of the virus.

From what I’ve read, Chinese food markets have been pegged as virus incubators and threats to the planet for years now. Years. But nothing has been done about them.

And now we have this new virus that’s been … oh, let’s say a pretty serious bummer for most of humanity … and still there doesn’t seem to be much pressure to get China to close down these markets.

Why?
