Lot of nasty stuff in the news lately. Is it simply sensationalism or we over spending on Mother Nature's credit card?

I know, it's crazy! These viruses or flu's often seem to come from Asia, I rememeber as a child, the Asian Flu. The Spanish Flu killed millions in our grandparents time.

i've heard they eat a lot of weird stuff...raw meat...and other horrible sounding things

they are saying that the virus could be coming from people who eat affected Bats as a delicacy or from snakes... also bats, and bat droppings are used in a lot of Chinese ''medicine''

There's a video which has gone viral in the last 24 hours and in all the media showing a woman eating a bat in an upmarket restaurant in Wuhan the city where the virus is said to have originated...

YUCK

YUCK

I know it's absolutely disgusting...but apparently it's a supposed delicacy there, and this is what the experts are determining has potentially created this horrendous virus...

 

[Gardenlover]

No freaking way - I'd eat locusts first.

They do....and it all looks even worse (in filthy looking aquariums)
I pretty much stuck with chips and beer when there

I'm interested in understanding the source of the virus.

I'm also following the progress on the 1,000-bed hospital being built in approx. 10 days, amazing.

In a few days, this will probably fade from the news cycle like so many stories that are sensationalized and then seem to just disappear.

Wow, eating a bat (that looks like it's still alive)
When most people do eat meat, it's disguised in taste, smell & appearance so it doesn't look like what it is - a dead animal.

Australia now has one confirmed case of the new virus. He is being treated in hospital in Melbourne.

Eating bats is not confined to Asia. When we were in PNG having lunch at a nice hotel we watched a man in the park outside bring down a large fruit bat with a slingshot. He scooped it up and took it away with him, presumably to eat in the same way that he might eat a pigeon.

The Corona Virus is a goldmine. (just in time to compensate for the increasing lack of interest in the flu shot)

1. Lots of scare advertising about how easy it is to get it, how sick it makes you, & how many people are dying of it.

2. Then: "Luckily we've developed a vaccine for it; we recommend everyone get it, especially the young, the old, & those with compromised immune systems." (which everyone has)

3. Even if the vaccine doesn't work & you still get the Corona Virus, you'll get well sooner.

4. Guilt advertising - If you don't get the vaccine, you'll make other people sick.

5. We care so much, we're offering free groceries to everyone who gets the vaccine.

Word has it that the main cause of the spread of the virus is because of a wet market, Huanan Seafood Market, which sells bizarre and exotic animals such as dogs, snakes, mice, bats, peacocks, koalas, and ostriches for the locals to consume.


Nice .......

20 cities isolated, a BBC news crew went into the area
where it all began, they said that they were stopped at
a police roadblock and told that they could go in with
no trouble, but that they will not be allowed out till the
isolation is lifted and that could be a long time away.

The Chinese treat people differently than we all do.

Mike.

That would be an interesting story to hear about.

 

[Rosemarie]

That would be an interesting story to hear about.

I wonder why he went there in the first place?

 

[Rosemarie]

I don't eat meat anyway but, there is an unwritten rule when it comes to meat.....never eat an animal which eats other animals. It seems the Chinese don't follow this rule.

 

[Wren]

The Chinese treat [people differently the we all do.
Mike.

Seems they treat their digestive systems differently too !!

When I was in Taipei years ago, I was taken down a street called Snake Alley where you could buy the blood to drink from different types of snakes. You could also buy the blood from turtles and deer ***** wine. Check it out on Wikipedia.

In Singapore, we ate monkey brains and deep fried chicken feet. Where do they come up with this stuff?

I remember one of the engineers in Hong Kong back in the 70’s telling me “We don’t waste anything. We not like Americans.” My reply was, “Yeah, OK, thank goodness we do throw some stuff away.”

 

[Catlady]

Not sure if this is true, but I read that HIV started because Africans like to eat monkey meat, they're carriers of the virus.

I used to eat Chinese food, but only liked Sweet & Sour Pork. When I became a vegetarian in 1984 I stopped eating Chinese and since then have learned they are NOT very clean people in the kitchen. And yes, they eat a lot of weird stuff.

I do have a page or two on that....somewhere

 

[RadishRose]

Where did you hear that?

 

[drifter]

Someone said the cause of this latest problem might be snakes.
