Can We Hate China Now?

You realize that most scientists accept that chickens and hogs are more likely to be the source of zoonotic diseases and a potential pandemic than wild animals? And it also goes two ways, livestock farms restrict humans entering the farms because they fear transmission of disease from humans to animals. Livestock farms practice biosecurity.

Yet SARS and this latest one come from wild animals.

I live in a heavily Chinese neighborhood. This is news to me.

I'd like to see a link since a Google check for the words chinese stabbed coronavirus revealed nothing like it. The closest was several stories about Chinese man sentenced to death after fatally stabbing two officials at coronavirus checkpoint in China

The thing is everyone knows it came from China, calling it the China virus, or not, does not change that knowledge.

. However, if NPIs were conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks later than they were, the number of cases may have shown a 3-fold, 7-fold, or 18-fold increase, respectively.[/I]

The US completely delayed NPI as well for weeks, seer. Just about every government, local or national, started off with DTDT, most are still at it.

Yes, I agree. But I would think that you are familiar with the term more likely. I take it that you believe wild animals should not be killed for human consumption, in part because of the disease threat. But the threat from the world's pigs and chickens is probably greater, the USDA and others track the many diseases in farm animals.

Or do you mean Chinese ought not be eating wild animals?

I don't know the source for that particular crime, but I am not sure that all crimes make national news.
