I noticed in social media many blame the reason for this as eating snake meat, bat meat etc. Maybe it's because most of the frist cases were those who visisted large animal and seafood market in Wuhan. But these guys have been eating these meat for thusands of years and why suddenly now ? I wonder if this is some sort of BioWarfare experince gone wrong.
I've heard that diseases like these can evolve overtime, meaning maybe corona existed 1000 years ago as well but wasn't strong enough to hurt humans so we never noticed it, and now It has evolved enough for it to be a threat.
There was one report of an infected person in my country(Pakistan), infact he was in my City but he was quarantined in the government hospital so hopefully he isn't a threat to the rest of us.
