Mosher, a [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/china/']China[/URL] specialist with the Population Research Institute, said [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/china/']China[/URL] for years has been doing research, detailed in scientific journals, on horseshoe bat coronaviruses that could be harmful to humans. “They write about collecting SARS-like coronaviruses from horseshoe bats and proving that, like the SARS virus itself, some of these other naturally occurring coronaviruses could infect human beings directly,” Mr. Mosher said. “They write about genetically engineering new and deadly viruses capable of infecting human lung tissue — just like the [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/wuhan/']Wuhan[/URL] flu does.”[/I] A lot of interesting stuff in this article. Apparently, they are reopening the market and still allowing the sale and slaughter of small animals on site, including bats [/QUOTE]
