I don't care what Trump calls the virus, but what they say about the "wet markets" is true - animals in cages are stacked on top of other animals in cages, and all varieties of blood, guts, and shit puddle up on the floor (the inhumane treatment of these animals is the major problem here, but that issue requires it's own post). China is not the only country in the world with lax hygiene standards, but the scale of the problem in China is astounding. Don't ever forget that we are in the middle of a pandemic because the Chinese government doesn't care to enact and enforce reasonable health and hygiene standards. They have the power to do this, but they don't.
