      ~~Because all the regular wet markets got closed down, so basically there's a big demand that isn't being addressed. The whole Corona situation reminds me a lot of the whole Typhoid Mary thing, you have a rapidly emerging new superpower that's industrializing fast, and tons of migrant workers who are a lot less educated. It's obviously mostly poor and under-educated people who want their wet market meat because they either can't afford alternatives or simply don't know the risk.

      And now the more legitimate wet markets have all been closed down, so what is the standard migrant worker from the countryside who makes a small salary and needs to eat going to do? Go to the more expensive and legitimate places to grab some cuts or will they go for something illegal and cheap?

      So I'm basically expecting the CPC response to be something really interesting, in the poverty alleviation banned frontline there was a big tech push were student volunteers using some apps and other things to report on poverty, maybe some sort of crowd sourced undercover public health inspectors or something?~~
