Sorry but the burden is on you to cite something if you're saying it's true. You said it's been proven that it originated in the wet market. Zedd showed it was nothing more than a letter you produced. Did it start in that wet market? Looks likely. But still unproven and that's where I drew the line.
I already know that the Triads operate in Thailand and Vietnam and bring critically endangered animals through those places to get to PRC. PRC is the only country where that shit is legal. The bushmeat markets in PRC are far bigger and traffic far more animals from every part of the world. The only country with a vast and vibrant market (not even a black market) for critically endangered animals for bushmeat is PRC. It is legal in no other country. A few small outlying places where a hidden corner is used to accommodate the PRC market does not spread the blame around.
I did cite an article in Nature. You're grasping at straws because you want a smoking gun. The CCP hid the smoking gun. We'll never get to study patient zero. The evidence is clear enough to conclude. It's a whole lot more than "looks likely". It's the evidence. The only other plausible explanation is an accidental lab leak from Wuhan, still the CCP's fault compounded by their cover-up.
I agree completely. But it's still not "proven". And maybe, probably never will be. So we should use language like maybe, probably.

1) intermediate host, such as a pangolin
2) no intermediate host, mutated in patient zero
3) lab escape
The conclusion is what the analyses clearly show. It wasn't engineered or manipulated. It's not a fucking bioweapon.
No it doesn't. It examines this question and derives no conclusion.
Completely untrue. You're just full of shit on this one. You're obvious modus operandi consists of nothing more than insults and falsehood.

CONCLUSION:

2) no intermediate host, mutated in patient zero
3) lab escape
The conclusion is what the analyses clearly show. It wasn't engineered or manipulated. It's not a fucking bioweapon.
The 3 hypothesis are posited in order of the likelihood they match the reality of the situation. All 3 of them lay the blame for the virus being introduced to humans solely upon the government of the PRC. You don't get absolutes in science. You get theory. Even gravity is a fucking theory. Whether you like it or not, I have sufficiently satisfied the burden to cite something for the conclusion that the CCP is absolutely and solely to blame for the pandemic.
No it doesn't. It examines this question and derives no conclusion.
Completely untrue. You're just full of shit on this one. You're obvious modus operandi consists of nothing more than insults and falsehood.
Is that not you?No. It started in China.

Is this supposed to be coherent? Yes, I cited a natgeo article that cited the Humphries research. That research did indeed make the same conclusion that natgeo published. You cited a study with no conclusion.
Where's the apology for your false claims that I am spreading hate against the Chinese people? Criticizing the CCP is not racist.

Where does he say he blames all the people of China? He's clearly talking about its government and policies.
If you are talking about what to do, then, yes wet markets are a topic of discussion. The really criminal act by the government of China is the cover up that there even was a problem early on suppression of information from China during that critical time. It swung from one authoritarian position to another after it became clear this virus is vicious in spread and effect.
Is where you live not just as bad though (not the markets) for cheap labour with very little or no worker rights? China is just one of many countries around the world that corporations seek out to get product made as cheap as possible to fill the pockets of their shareholders.
Exactly. It was always so myopic and greedy to have manufacturing jobs over there in the name of profit for the business owners. For a while, it seemed ok, since products were cheap. Those were good jobs that went over there where wages are extremely low and environmental laws don't exist. Any savings in the prices of the junk have been lost (and then some) not just by the poor quality of those products, but by the fucking pandemic. It was not worth the cost to do business with the CCP.
Trump had years to prepare. One of the last things Obama did was try to set Trump up for success in the case of a pandemic, but like true Trump fashion, he claims he knows more than anyone, disbanded the team that would have gotten ahead of this pandemic, and blames everyone else when it blows up in his face (and asks governors to 'take the blame' for him).
China is extremely belligerent over here too. They violate this country's sovereignty on a daily basis. I'm just waiting to see what the Japanese military does when the PLA tries to take advantage of the distraction. They most certainly will.
Looks like a monumental PR failure to me, or perhaps the actions of individual bigots, like in America. I don't think this is a winning policey, do you? 70% of the covid-19 deaths in America are African Americans, yet they make up just 12% of the US population, some might even consider such a statistic as evidence of genocide.
