People need to realize two things:

1) There is a lot of legitimate racism being provoked by the coronavirus and we should not tolerate that.

2) Identifying china as the source of the virus or criticizing their choices that led about this tragedy is not racism.

@freemo I hope this finally forces China to ban Wet Markets. They can still eat wild game, just slaughter all the animals separately in clean, regulated slaughter houses like all the other meat they consume.

Of course in this case, it was still most likely illegally traded animals anyway. China also needs to crack down more on illegal animal trade and food safety.

@djsumdog Yes they just need proper regulation, perhaps animal quarintine im not really sure all the proper steps that would be safe.

Of course this came from an endagered species (pangolin) most likely which has other ethical isues too.
