China is permitting wild animal markets to resume selling bats, believed to be the source for the deadly coronavirus now killing people across the globe, including over 2,500 Americans to date, British reporters say.
Chinese authorities in January closed down the Wuhan city “wet” market after five of its workers were among the first diagnosed with what would become COVID-19.
A number of scientists say it is likely that bats either infected other market animals or humans directly. Bats carry a variety of coronaviruses and are blamed on for the 2002 SARS coronavirus epidemic that also originated in a Chinese market.
The Chinese people’s congress voted Feb. 24 to close all the country’s wild animal markets.
The British Daily Mail newspaper reported on Saturday that, “Will they ever learn? Chinese markets are still selling bats and slaughtering rabbits on blood-soaked floors as Beijing celebrates ‘victory’ over coronavirus

I question whether this narrative is being submitted in order to mitigate the accusations of weaponizing MERS, SARS etc...
Act of war on the whole world.

Why in the world would Chinese citizens even WANT to buy meat from those places now?
Don't Chinese grocery stores sell packaged meats? Somebody please explain to me the allure of buying meat from a wet market? Are people worried that grocery store meat won't be fresh enough? I just don't get it.

The issue is not the wet market, it's the type of exotic animals routinely sold in some mainland CHINESE wet markets.
If you think the packaged meats in a supermarket are either the best cuts or "fresh" you are delusional or never actually eaten fresh. In many cases Gases are added to the packaging in supermarket meat to it "red" for longer.

I go to wet markets all the time (not in Mainland China) to get fresh seafood and meat. Just slaughtered or just off the boat from my preferred vendors - yeah it does taste far better than what you'll get in the supermarket.
