These wet markets are virus breeding grounds. Global opinion is clear on this and the types of creatures prone to animal to human transmissions are well known. If I am not mistaken the Avian bird flu and SARs also traced back to these markets , and now we have a new virus type. Chinese government is really going to have to do something about them, immediately, not just a temporary closure of a few for disinfection, but the whole darn lot. Policing them with stricter regulations is not an answer... Or do we wait for yet another virus crisis.
