Based on evidence, all of the viruses mentioned above are linked to animal sources.
While I don’t advocate any specific diet, we just can’t deny the origin of these particular viruses. Some will argue that bad food choices especially bats and snakes are the main contributing factors.
This latest virus has created a lot of uncertainty in Canada and some are predicting a repeat of the SARS scenario where people avoided Chinese food stores and restaurants.
I noticed many Asians wearing face masks, are they contributing to the fear and anxiety ?
What do other members think ?

Indeed, only the Chinese are wearing masks so one would assume that they are infected with the virus. Today I was at Scarborough Town Center and I saw about 15 Chinese wearing masks everyone was looking and avoiding them. A Chinese friend told me that the restaurants are not as busy. Tomorrow the Chinese association will address the issue of racial discrimination because of this virus.
