A pandemic like this, which respect no status - rich or poor, black or white, developed or not, intelligent or not is a good elixer to open the foggy eyes of us, humans! Add Or would it?

If you eat out in Thailand your meat or fish came from one such market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) I stopped watching when the news caster said there could be as many as 45 million deaths. Unless my mathematical skills have totally eluded me, I make that to be 0.58% of the world's population. And according to many comments on this issue, the deaths will be mainly amongst the elderly and/or those with existing health issues. And incidentally, the UN reckon that there 130 million births every year. So what's the problem?

wotsdermatter Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 According to the WHO and other international institutions, the level of the outbreak is not yet at pandemic level as this reporter asserted. While the video concentrated of so-called "wet" markets and the slaughter and sale of a great variety of animals, the truth of the origin and spread of the virus is till unknown. However, many people have asserted the "truth" about how, when, who, and how this variety of coronavirus originated, etc., and even this video showed scenes that people will believe are the truth. A lot of governments have spread myths and general population believe them without even attempting to determine if they are true. A prime example is the Thai government with their changing stories about masks, the forthcoming heat destroying the virus, etc., and so it goes on. Incidentally, it has now been shown that the use of gels to clean hands, etc., is nowhere near as effective as good old soap and water to clean the body or surfaces. Rant over. 'nuf sed.

Final images are of Hong Kong. This is not Bangkok! Some of the footages are from Chattuchak/Bangkok, Wuhan and maybe Hong Kong? The only thing that I find misleading is the part in Bangkok. They show what looks like exotic pet shop but they present it like they are sold for meat. It's not really comparable to Chinese wet market where they butcher the animals on site. I've seen plenty of wet market in Thailand and they seem to offer less exotic animal and don't usually butcher the meat on site. I saw a "No Photos" sign in Thai. Others have mentioned that this market is most likely for pets and not for animals as food consumption. The problem with that is, the spread of the virus across species is not due to ingestion of the animal's meat, but through contact with the live animals. By having species that normally wouldn't come in physical contact in the wild in such close proximity, and touched/handled by shopkeepers who handle multiple and varied species, you introduce the possibility of these cross-species infections with the last species in the chain being the human shopkeepers and customers. In the case of Covid-19, genetic markers trace the origin of the virus back to bats but the vector species is believed to be pangolins. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go to the market in BKK which is basically a pet shop (some illegal animals) and try and make out its a food market. I agree!.... at 2:23 he says "possibly the greatest pandemic the world has ever seen".....Covid-19 is still on its knees compared to the long distant runner the Spanish-flu virus in 1918 became. Not to down play the situation,but I find it sickening to see how quickly everything becomes commercialized. No sooner we see irrational fear take hold of governments,societies,stock markets et.... a bank refusing foreign currency because of Covid-19 is the epitome of irrational fear. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy say “they can do what they like” about the animal. = try to make the viewer person think the thai will eat it. Same in Australia you can buy a pet at a pet shop and eat it. But who do that? Stupid report. And complain animal from different country in the same pet shop. Australia pet shop only have kangaroo and koala? Or have dog, cat, rabbit, rat from the world. pfffft. i think only TVF have member lie about thailand. But Australia TV same right. * I not like keep wild animal for pet. But every country SOME people do that. Usually the man. I hate it. But this story just the fake thaibash story. Exaggerate. Stupid. i think the reporter to scared go to real wet market in China. Just want easy work holiday to Thailand. Pfffft Dramatic headline “Reporter goes undercover to wet market” True headline “Reporter go undercover to pet shop” pffffft You'll never see a roo or a koala in a pet shop on Australia. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally the bit about 'the Aussies' were aborigines - again traditional kills for food I guess you've never been pig hunting. In North Queensland. Plenty of jungle there, and plenty of pigs. A 100 kg boar is scary no matter what country it's in, as a few dogs have found out when they have had their guts ripped open. Australia exports camels to the middle east to replenish bloodlines. Aussie camels are the only animals still considered free from the effects of inbreeding by the Saudis. Big money in this.

Again, flus and viral pneumonia from flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year.
