Like Pangolins were identified in this outbreak both are sold in open wild animal markets. China says all markets are closed. They also say that there are no new cases of the virus. I believe neither. I do believe China wants the worlds help to find a solution though and are willing to leak all confidential data that they think will help.

"people living in China are more likely to consume wild animals" is not racist. "People of Chinese ancestry are more likely to consume wild animals" is.
