BMA: Chatuchak Market Didn’t Spread COVID-19

 

 

BANGKOK, Feb 25 (TNA) – The Market Office of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) denied the Chatuchak market transmitted COVID-19 to China, saying it did not permit pet sales there.

 

Pinit Arayasilpatorn, director of the Market Office, denied an international report that an animal zone in the Chatuchak market might be the source of COVID-19 before the pandemic started in Wuhan city of China.

 

The Chatuchak market was under the jurisdiction of the BMA’s Market Office which banned the sales of pets.

Revenge by China for the PM opting to get the Az vaccine?

Someone is telling porkie pies. The illegal wild life trade at Chatuchak market has been well documented over the years.

There was an ABC 60 Minutes program about this market that went out last year.

I have bought there my 2 puppies.

I have walked the whole market, a lot of different animals, hundreds of stalls.

that was sometimes before covid.

but certainly if not animals exported to wuhan, it could be visitor tourists taking with them the virus.

There is a thai scientific research poiting covid to bats in southern thailand, published several weeks ago 

[Kiujunn]

Right.

Point to everything that isn't China. 

Maybe Covid came from the world famous bat collection of the San Diego Zoo?

Or from German slaughterhouses, imported to China through frozen food? After all,  that's a WHO-approved theory, and as we all know the WHO is not in Chinas pocket.

I guess that all the Animals I saw on my last visit to the market must have been for Food Consumtion by the Public then.
