Australia is ratcheting up pressure on China to look into the health risks associated with wildlife wet markets.

Australia's chief veterinarian, Dr Mark Schipp, said it was important to understand the risks that wildlife wet markets posed to human health.

"[That includes] AIDS, SARS, swine influenza, the Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome, Ebola and now COVID-19, so all of those originate in animals.Dr Schipp said"all of the evidence" pointed to the COVID-19 outbreak originating in a market in Wuhan but acknowledged the sensitivities of calling for greater scrutiny of such markets.

Dr Schipp is also the president of the World Organisation for Animal Health and has been working with WHO and Food and Agriculture Organisation to address some of the concerns around wet markets.

Irradiated food. Has mankind radiated themselves in to a corner. Where we are no longer, capable of eating untreated food. Pork, chicken, crustaceans fruit, vegetables. Shelved food. To secure greater shelf profit. Long term effect of this process, viruse susceptibility? .

it started in a p4 virology lab

China Virus came from China lab. The wet markets are secondary.

For heaven's sake, 'wet market' is a fabricated theory with no real evidence. Why not just start with Wuhan lab, that's known to produce nasty bioweapons, corrupt WHO and 'vaccine demon' orchestrating this abhorrent 'crimes against humanity' disguised as a PLANdemic.

It will be correct to say that the virus is bioweapon that went wrong. It was released either by mistake or by someone with malicious intent. Bat has been in existence yet we didn't have the virus being capable of infecting humans.

I do not believe that this current virus originated from bats as it has been alleged with evidence. Going by WHO tweet on 14/01/20, wherein WHO stated that the virus cannot be transmitted from human to human. This virus cannot be from bat.
