SARS originated from civets, Wuhan pneumonia came from the seafood market wild game, please let them go!

author:Handan big city small things

By 00:02 on the 23rd, a total of 549 cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia had been confirmed nationwide.

Provinces that have not had cases before have also been confirmed, and even in Taiwan, which is far away from the ocean, a Taiwanese businessman who travels to and from Wuhan has been confirmed to be infected with the virus.

Looking at the area that was constantly turning red and the numbers were constantly increasing, I was deeply worried.

What will happen to the final trend of this matter, and what will be the final outcome of this matter? I had to sweat a handful of sweat behind my back.

In recent times, we must protect ourselves, wash our hands frequently, do not go to crowded places, and wear masks in public.

In addition to prevention, we can't help but ask, what is the cause of the menacing new type of pneumonia?

Perhaps we can find the answer at the source.

Academician Zhong Nanshan was interviewed after rushing to the front line of the epidemic, and when asked whether the source of infection was determined, he mentioned one thing:

During the investigation in Wuhan, he led the team to find that the new coronavirus pneumonia cases that occurred in Wuhan occurred more in places where there were seafood markets.

However, they are not just selling seafood, but more of a business, it is a price tag to sell wild game.

In particular, almost all of the patients found at first were related to the Huanan Seafood Market.

Academician Zhong speculated that the Huanan Seafood Market may have been the initial source of infection.

Today, the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention has made it clear that the source of the new coronavirus is wild animals.

The virus carried in the seafood market was transmitted to humans through "wild game" and then became human-to-human in a very short period of time. What the specific source of infection is, Academician Zhong can not be sure, can only speculate that the pathogen is most likely to come from bamboo rats and badgers.

These animals are wild game that is extremely popular in the seafood market. In the first batch of 27 cases, the patients were mainly those who sold wild game and bought wild game.

In the earliest screenings, you will be asked: "Have you ever been to the Huanan Seafood Market?" "Have you ever been in contact with people who work at the Huanan Seafood Market?" "Have you ever eaten anything from the Huanan Seafood Market?"

Just after the outbreak of the epidemic, a Red Star News reporter went to investigate and found that those merchants were still selling wild meat, which made people extremely angry. The game was placed in a cage, at the discretion of the guests, slaughtered and killed, and even many precious animals.

In their quotation, we can see that it takes only 500 yuan to eat a live peacock, 170 yuan to eat a live goose, and even live civets to eat on it, which costs 130 yuan.

There are nearly a thousand merchants in the Huanan Seafood Market, and there are really too many and too many people like this to clearly mark the price of wild meat, which is a huge interest industry chain.

Seeing this, I am really surprisingly angry, those who still have to eat civet meat are really stupid and ignorant, if you know of SARS in 2003, then you must remember the source of sara's infection, which is a civet that is considered "delicious".

The first infected sars appeared in Guangdong, and the first 11 cases all had one thing in common: dealing with wild animals, which is exactly the same as the current Wuhan coronavirus.

After the civets were found to be the source of the virus, Guangdong Province issued relevant policies to prohibit the killing of wild civets, ban the wildlife trading market, and block infection from the source.

Unfortunately, no one expected that what Guangdong banned was very popular in Wuhan. There are many people who have always been a big fan of wild game, and the more people don't eat anything, the more they want to try one or two. However, at that time, they would not have thought that a momentary appetite would lead to great disaster.

Remember the plague some time ago?

The town of Tsagaannuur, located near the Mongolian-Russian border, was cordoned off because of an outbreak of plague, and locals were very fond of wild game, believing that the offal of raw rodents was "very good for health".

So a couple ate the groundhog's kidneys, gallbladder and stomach without cooking.

Then they contracted the plague, and the man immediately developed a high fever. Less than a week later, death;

His wife was placed in intensive care, vomited blood from time to time and suffered severe headaches, also died soon after, and she was pregnant.

Soon, all 118 people who had been in contact with the couple were quarantined, including medical staff who had "close contact" with the couple, but the quarantine was too late, the plague had spread, and about 1,300 residents were restricted from leaving the town.

And even so, the plague was brought to the world through some fish that slipped through the net. Remember the famous "Cam Ranh Soy Sauce Incident"?

More than 30 years ago, the Jinlan soy sauce family mistakenly believed that eating raw "wild meat snails" was very supplemental, and as a result, all five members of the family were infected with tube nematode, four of whom died, and one died after 10 years in bed.

It was so tragic that it was almost exterminated, and only the third son, who was not involved in eating wild game overseas, survived.

The smell of the African Ebola virus is also caused by eating wild animals.

A few Africans came across a dead orangutan, and they thought they were lucky enough to encounter a rare delicacy, and soon shared its flesh.

Who would have thought that what fell from the sky was not a delicacy, but a scythe for death.

How terrible is game?

Some researchers have done statistics that 70% of emerging infectious diseases originate from animals.

Plague is derived from marmots, sars viruses, and from civet cats that eat chrysanthemum bats;

The Ebola virus that ravaged Africa, from bat populations in Central and West Africa;

Marburg virus, derived from monkeys, orangutans and other non-human primates...

In 2003, eating civets resulted in SARS, and 17 years later, the gang ate wild game and ate coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan.

The purpose of wild animals to survive is not to give you food, people want to survive, so their ability to resist viruses and survive is many times stronger than you don't know.

You infect their viruses and get into trouble with the upper body is a doomed thing.

History is always strikingly similar, and if you don't die, you won't die.

Behind the constant consumption of large infectious diseases is the killing of wild animals that have been repeatedly banned.

Shanghai police found a full 3.1 tons of pangolin scales in the container!

How many pangolins are being persecuted?

Behind the sale of wild game is a huge industrial chain, even if they are sentenced, even if they are caught, as long as they are profitable, they will take the risk.

There is a saying in Capital: "With 20% profit, they become active; with 50% profit, they are desperate; with 100% profit, they dare to trample on all human laws; with 300% profit, they dare to commit any crime!" ”

The pictures of the animals and the corpses were simply shocking.

There is a saying that there is no harm in not buying and selling, and behind these people's deaths are customers who are willing to pay a high fee for these.

So the source of curbing these dirty trades is still in those consumers.

Why are so many people keen on eating game? Are these wild animals really delicious?

I know that a netizen once told his experience of eating wild boar meat, when one of his relatives hit a wild boar on the mountain, put it in the trunk of the car to take it down the mountain, and then found a restaurant to help process it into wild boar hot pot.

But what I didn't expect was that after the wild boar was boiled into a hot pot, the smell was so bad that just by smelling that smell, the people in the restaurant lost their appetite.

In addition to the smell, wild boar meat does not have much fat, and it is hard and woody to bite, which is completely different from the taste of farm pigs.

Believe in our ancestors, those delicious things, those things that can be eaten, they have already helped us to test, do not need to try again.

Since the taste is not as good as people think, why do people still enjoy trying "wild game"?

On the one hand, the reason is that the deliberate marketing of merchants plus ignorant superstitious tonics, such as eating deer tonic, eating pangolins can milk, owl soaking wine can be blind, etc., so it has attracted many people who are keen to eat supplements, but these are nonsense.

On the other hand, it is purely for the sake of showing off and showing off, and what you can't eat, I have already tasted, do you say that I am better than you?

As can be seen from the microblogs they send out when they eat wild game, it is full of show-offs, as if eating wild game is a symbol of honor.

I can't see the honor and superiority, I see only the shamelessness and disgusting of the screen.

The biosphere is actually a biological chain, and some animals cannot be eaten, contrary to the laws of nature, and sooner or later they will be punished.

If you want to die, you have to eat wild game, infected, death is your own business, but I am afraid that the virus will be contagious and pull down innocent people to accompany the burial.

SARS in 2003 originated from a civet carrying the SARS virus, causing 5327 people to become infected and 348 to die as a result.

Nowadays, the new type of pneumonia, there have been 440 people infected, 9 people died, the place of illness in Wuhan has become a hard-hit area, people outside can not go in except for special circumstances, people inside can not come out except for special circumstances.

I couldn't help but burst into tears when I saw those who knew the danger of Wuhan "retrograde" at the expense of their lives and signed the "life and death" regardless of pay, regardless of life and death.

It's just because of the little appetite of wild game lovers that so many people have gambled their lives, which really makes people sigh.

There is a saying in The Plague that the sins of the world are almost always caused by ignorance.

This epidemic is not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster!

Humans and nature are supposed to live in harmony, but only because a small number of them broke the rules and caused this catastrophe.

In a way, this may be a revenge of the wild animals against humans. You will never know what the consequences will be due to your ignorance and willfulness.

Finally, I hope that Wuhan can survive this time, we can defeat the virus as soon as possible, and I hope that those medical workers who are struggling in the front line must pay attention to safety!

Wild game lovers take it, don't be greedy, don't be vain, you can kill yourself, but don't joke about the lives of others!
