Re: Covid and the industrial meat economy
The original transmission of the virus was inhaled from the rendered tissue of the bat or anteater, we are told. It was NOT a wild animal, as China claims. The virus more likely is a super-virus created by the industrial meat factory. The reason we know so much about Wuhan is the meat market AND the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which was started in 2013 to combat the growing corona viruses coming in from Brazilian raised meat.

Re: Covid and the industrial meat economy
I'm not sure what you mean by those not being wild animals.
It could be that farmed animals are catching it and spreading it, but it's just as plausible that it's the conditions in these animal ag facilities that humans are exposed to, working shoulder to shoulder without much ventilation etc.
It's kind of a correlation-causation thing and an occam's razor thing. We don't need to assume that the virus has jumped back into non-human hosts to carry it in order to explain transmission from animal ag as hotspots, so that shouldn't be the null hypothesis when known conditions explain the observations.
That said, MOST plagues start with farmed animals.

Re: Covid and the industrial meat economy
It’s an epidemiological problem actually. Viruses usually transmit between species, person to person. Now the Corona 19 is said to have come from the tissue of a rendered animal and somehow transmitted to a human in a meat market in Wuhan Providence. This means that the virus, that was once only in the animal, was transferred to a human ONLY ONCE! Nothing EVER happens only once in nature and science. We live in a quantum world. So China, the meat industry and the financial people who put this terrible business model together lied.
You are correct about pandemics and meat. The last major pandemic to hit the US, started in Western Missouri in 1918. That was ten years after the publication of Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle”, that chronicled the meat packing industry of Chicago. That book forced the meat packing to the Western plains of Missouri where the “Yellow Plague” started!
