There are calls for people to stop eating bat meat from an extreme animal market in Indonesia amid fears over the coronavirus.

He called on Indonesian authorities to conduct further research into Indonesia's animal markets and the potential for the presence of the coronavirus.

"Increased interactions between wild animals and humans, both through caring for wildlife and during consumption, must be better monitored and investigated to prevent transmission," Mr Rahmadi said. Equipped with little more than his phone, a scooter and a small video camera, investigator 'Luke' spent four months infiltrating and documenting the brutal dog meat trade in Bali.

Garda Satwa Indonesia, a non-profit animal welfare organisation, called for animal markets to be better regulated. "These animals should not be consumed because they are not covered by Indonesia's livestock laws … and there are no guarantees the meat is healthy and suitable for consumption," the group said on social media.The ABC contacted the office of the Indonesian Health Minister which had not responded by the time of publication.

There's a sickness more virulent than coronavirus and it's the PM's job to stop itIf Scott Morrison is smart, he will learn the lesson of his great bushfire bungle and get ahead of this crisis. Peter Hartcher is totally wrong here. The death rate vs survival rate cannot be determined based on current sick individuals. 17,000+ sick 362 dead 536 recovered The 17,000 are still sick, neither dead nor recovered. Feminism Is it the incapability of the media to fairly and with out leftist bias reporting!?!?!?

WHO urges against China travel bans as coronavirus cases soar past 20,000The World Health Organisation advises against trade and travel restrictions to China amid the coronavirus outbreak that has so far killed at least 425 people. the WHO is officially dead to me, gone the same way as the UN. Giving advice that's based on feelings as opposed to facts. Completely disagree with WHO. The science is still in it's infancy. It is horrible for China but the infections need to be stopped and it can be done without stigma and longterm damage. So we should act on climate change immediately but its already pointless to act on corona virus scomo did the right thing shutting down travel from China the who and un can't be trusted
