Read about the wild animal trade and wet markets in China.
This has been a huge net loss for China,
They are being reviled world wide
they are now paying reparations to other countries including Spain,
and it has cost them a fortune internally,
And:
Expelling US Journalists is Final Proof China Is Not America’s Friend, In Peace or Crisis
We should condemn China in the strongest terms. Maybe in a way this virus has a silver lining. We are learning to do without, and we are learning what's important. Maybe when it's over, we can decide to do away with all those cheap goods made in a country that rewards freedom with punishment and expulsion. We can make it here, or buy it from nations striving for the same values we hold. I'd rather buy an iPhone made in Mexico than one from China.

A homeless shelter grapples with coronavirus life

CUMBERLAND, Md.--It is just about 11:30 in the morning and life is going on as normal in the crowded dining room of the Union Rescue Mission homeless shelter located along Queen City Pavement.
At least their version of normal.
The sign outside the ancient red-brick building, once a notorious brothel for railroad travelers reads, “Doorway to Hope at the Gateway to the West.”
Inside the shelter, which in warm weather can accommodate 62 men, women and children, is at capacity and lunch is being served by the staff, as well as the executive director, Pastor David Ziler.
In the cold weather they can sleep 84, Ziler says they are at capacity, a number they rarely hit.
“I think people are just kind of freaked out a little bit right now. So the guys who would normally sleep out in tents, they're all of a sudden seeking refuge. And so we're not used to seeing these numbers,” says Ziler.“We’ve also seen a spike in need for baby formula and diapers and more people are coming in for our meals,” he said of the areas needy who are not in need of shelter, just in need.

Today they served 200. They did that yesterday and the day before. They’ll also be able to do it day after day, largely thanks to their local community that has continued to donate food and necessities even when social media shows evidence of society on the brink of violence over hoarding toilet paper.
“Even the local restaurants stepped up the moment they were ordered to shutter and donated all of their food and perishables for our meals,” he explained.
Off in the distance the long-long-short-long train whistle can be heard, Ziler’s facility is adjacent to Cumberland’s Amtrak Station and CSX lines, the whistle is one of the few reminders commerce is this country is finding its way to all points west.
