As the coronavirus pandemic ravages the world, China has reportedly reopened its infamous wet markets.
Wet markets are distinguished from dry markets by the selling of fresh meat, produce, and other perishable items. However, China’s wet markets are notorious because exotic animals are often sold in unsanitary conditions.
In fact, the COVID-19 outbreak has been traced back to a Wuhan wet market. Horseshoe bats and exotic mammals, such as civets and pangolins, which act as hosts to the dangerous viruses that bats carry, are often sold at these markets and consumed by local Chinese people.
But that hasn’t convinced China to permanently shut down the markets.
According to the Daily Mail, wet markets have reopened across China after China’s communist government publicly declared victory over COVID-19.
At one market in Guilin, a southern Chinese city, a Daily Mail correspondent watched as cats and dogs were waiting to be sold for their meat. – READ MORE

Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban sat down for an interview with The Daily Caller where he praised President Donald Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic that is gripping the country and the rest of the world.
(…)
Cuban said that Trump has taken a backseat to let others shine in the fight against the virus, and the positive benefits are obvious.
“In the past, it wasn’t all that long ago when he was saying — people were thinking, wondering how he understood medicine so well. They thought he was just a genius for being able to understand all this stuff, but now he’s kind of evolved to the point where he’s putting his experts up front,” he reasoned. “There’s a reason why Dr. [Anthony] Fauci became a rock star, and he’s only a rock star because Donald Trump stepped aside.”
He also pointed to Dr. Deborah Birx, who he also called a “rock star” for her hard work in educating the public about the severity of the disease.
“The head of FEMA, the surgeon general, there’s just people who have really put themselves out there and put themselves at risk, and during the press conferences, he steps aside,” Cuban added. “He’s not even in camera shot, and that’s good. And I give him all the credit in the world. Do I like the side comments and all the picking on journalists? No, never have, never will. That’s who he is, but credit earned is credit deserved, and so I’ll give him credit where we’re at right now.” – READ MORE

On Sunday, the FDA granted emergency approval for the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat patients suffering from the pandemic. The move came five days after Sisolak announced Nevada will prohibit doctors from prescribing and dispensing the drugs to coronavirus patients unless they are in an emergency room.
