I used to swim well over a mile daily when I was a lifeguard at a lake.

I used to swim well over a mile daily when I was a lifeguard at a lake.

My brother to this day says the best job he ever had was East Bay Park Lifeguard... mostly at the various lakes in summer.

He was 16 and loved every minute of it and did so all through college.

I lifeguarded at a small lake in a public park across the lake from where I grew up. I could swim to work, or row my boat, or ride my bike, or run, or car. Did that one for 3-4 years in high school and 1st year of college. Great job for a young person. I much preferred the lake to the public pools that I had to substitute at sometimes. Then I got a job at the man-made whitewater course here in town. That was exciting daily! Moving water is a whole nuther animal.

China's Disgusting Wet Markets Reopen, Essentially Guarantee Another Outbreak

If places like this is going to breeding one kind of virus or another How are we ever going to be safe interacting with China?

Actually the Japanese did. Things were developed in their famous 731 lab.

I am somewhat aware of the Japanese efforts but I am not aware they actually deployed any bio weapons against us... to my point. I think there were some attacks on China.

Interesting website I stumbled over...

Coronavirus Act Now

Gives various scenarios and estimates state by state how many they think will die depending on what level of social distancing, shelter in place etc is used.

Good website if it's true. No reason to doubt, just there are always deniers.

I totally agree, these markets should be in the trash bin of history.

I wonder if China knows COVID19 was not sourced from there and that is why they are opening them. There have been reports that it did not.

My opinion is that China did not shut down Wuhan because they had a flu outbreak. They must have believed it was a biological weapon that got out and it scared the crap out of them. It surprises me that we cannot confirm if is was a natural or engineered virus...or maybe that information is being suppressed.

OK that would make sense if that was the case and since this is a very old practice I am sure the powers do not need to ruffle these peoples feathers so to speak.
