Wuhan coronavirus death toll rises, as city imposes transport lackdownThe many-banded krait , also known as the Taiwanese krait or the Chinese krait, is a highly venomous species of elapid snake found in much of central and southern China and Southeast Asia.The illness was first reported in late December 2019 in Wuhan, a major city in central China, and has been rapidly spreading.
Snakes often hunt for bats in wild. Reports indicate that snakes were sold in the local seafood market in Wuhan, raising the possibility that the 2019-nCoV might have jumped from the host species -- bats -- to snakes and then to humans at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak. However, how the virus could adapt to both the cold-blooded and warm-blooded hosts remains a mystery.The authors of the report and other researchers must verify the origin of the virus through laboratory experiments.
Eating habits coming back to Bite 🐍 you in the ass
Total bullshit and lacks common sense
A newspaper in Japan says that snakes sold at live wildlife market in China are fed with bats, and Chinese people there drink the snakes’ blood with alcohol! China is a hotbed of novel zoonotic viruses.
It's reportedly bat soup,not snake.
Ummm... most likely bats but thx
3rd world idiots... no surprise there
I have a question is any of that meat being sold to US.
Wth is china still allowing wild animal live markets for in this day and age? They should be banned all across the country. Wake upChina
This virus is believed have been transferred from a snake specie. The Chinese needs to stop their barbaric beliefs of eating wildlife because it helps cure some rubbish. Most of the world's wildlife is in danger because of the Chinese market in wildlife.
Damn.. my ex caused the virus? Sheesh.. not surprising at all
The virus was leaked from a local virus research center.
You'll notice that CNN is not reporting much on the Impeachment trial at the moment since the defense had their day in court and revealed the impeachment for what it actually is, a corrupt, partisan sham...
I'm sick of all these motherfukn snakes causing all this motherfukn disease
How does one even eat this ugly creature🤷🏾♂️ to make it worse with soup😳🤦🏽♂️
That's Schiff.
What’s going on about Biden’s relations with China?
Scientists have been saying for years that a pandemic would likely start in a densely populated community and the source would likely be an animal. We live in times where medical research is at the top of it's game but as with anything new we need new knowledge.
They probably have been eating snakes, bats etc. from the dawn of time and now they are mysteriously sick from it...This contributes to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, antiseptic, and antiviral action...
Why
The devil at it again
It's said to be a bat. It's been verified
Whenever I read “animal goes extinct” I pray it’s snakes
Cobravirus huh?
China has imprisoned more than one million Muslims in detention, so Allah Sheds a virus that has not been discovered yet. It has isolated 4 cities with a population of more than 20 million Chinese. 'And you are unaware of what they going to do.'
Space snakes!!!!
Is it true that 2019-nCoV was escaped from the institute of virus and bacteria in Wuhan ?
Its not the eating itself. It’s the absence of hygiene. Mixing live animals with raw meat in a very crowded environment. This in combination with Chinese habits of Openly spitting. Remember the SARS epidemic, my business trip was cancelled. Good, responsible decision by my mana.
More like it came from a covert biological warfare laboratory
Chinese cobra after eating bat, most likely. bat soup are in the airport Chinese fast food or might use to alternate chicken. Beware eating Chinese exotic species food.
Snake omelette, china?
Nope Rhino Horn
Newly discovered 😳 🤦♀️
If they stopped spitting everywhere they might reduce the spread
Coronavirus isn't the Chinese government's fault. Instead, people eating stuff like this need to stop.
QuitLying Bio lab in Wuhan probably released coronavirus the initial wave of people getting sick had nothing to do with that market
Yawn. Wake me up when one is seen on a plane with Samuel L Jackson.
There is no point to eat snake if you are not wealthy enough to buy red meat, try to be vegan !!!!
It isn't.
Oôooooععععع
CNN loves to report FakeNews
watch this to know more about Corona virus
It’s always a snake
Ratings dropped!! Fake news headquarters
PhilOfSports fuckers
Kill em all
So the virus is God's way of saying to not eat random reptiles?
Its a zoonetic virus lives inside animals such as camels, cats, donkey & snakes. They act as a reservoirs.its airborne infection mainly affected the respiratory system.. Those with low immunity, old age & childeren are mush susceptible to catch the flu like illness.
It takes an epidemic to stop people from eating certain animals.
Imho comes from laboratory
It's not it's rabid bat meat mixed with the flu
Bullshit. humans have been eating all kinds of animals and birds for over 150 Million years. The new type of virus was a mutation escapted from Wuhans Virology bio weapons lab in china
Was Elizabeth warren in China last week?
So they were chopping up live snake for gastronomic consumption...yuck!
Another snake story: On minute 50-52 of the Trump buffet, I heard Trump slip in the word 'Thorazine' -Listen carefully. He's worse than you think.
Fix this guys I’m trying to bank off $NIO
In China people eating snakes as well.
Chinese people likes to eat meat from exotic animals. Cat, dog, even peacock.
Recycled speculation that has a 98% + probability of being wrong. FakeNews
realJammur
ChinaVirus stop eating cobras. Try some bean burritos.
Well, I guess no more shopping at Krait & Barrel.
Wtffff haeunkim24
The same story Twitter told yesterday now they're saying it's 2 minutes old same story over and over with the new timeline
Hey. It’s not news if it “could be”. Do your jobs
Oh no
Snakes and bats
🐍🐍🐍🐍
“Snakes”. I immediately thought of Democrats.
Eating snakes, wild animals, scorpio, bat soup, monkey brain Aliens?
So does this mean those poor snakes will get some break?
Chinese Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) OutBreak : What to Know & What to Do
Chinese people really eat weird shit. That’s why in some religions, you are not supposed to eat dangerous species like bats and snakes!
I'm still trying to understand how someone could get close enough for a cobra to sneeze on them without dying ;-)
Now people are gonna just start kiling them...
I'm not surprised that Chin. would eat it.
I figured snakes had something to do with this
It definitely didn't come from the bsl-4 lab that is 8 miles away from Wuhan where they study pathogens and viruses. Nope. Came from snakes.
Poorly prepared traditional bat soup in wuhan could be the cause. A full fruit eating bat was toasted in whole and marinated then dipped in a veggie soup. Consumer would eat the bat first at its spine for crunchy taste...the CoVi happens.
And then.....?
aparanjape If CNN could throw light on the Duo behind India's economic woes that too would be helpful. The antics of the Duo are far worse than these snakes & have resulted in far more death & misery to Indian citizens.
Well you don’t know that!!
China sucks
Snakes, as cold blooded reptiles, are almost certainly not the source of the virus which likely comes from a warm blooded mammal like a bat. The fact that CNN doesn’t seem to understand basic science is truly appalling and dangerous.
the picture is that of a King Cobra not Chinese krait
Lie down with snakes...you wake up with coronoavirus .
It always amazes me how these diseases are always from another species, it cannot possibly be the source is Human. We are only animals after all just like every other species on this planet.
Heard it was badger meat china
🤢
The responsibility still lies in the authorities. They allow ppl to illegally selling wild animals for food, no education of the dangers of eating the wildlife. They also conceal the news about the epidemic so ppl hv no consciousness to prevent it. wuhanvirus China coronavirus
Every country has its own understanding of what is a farm animal which can be eaten and what is a wild animal which is taboo. There is no international law but after this case and growing globalisation of diseases that is something which may have to be looked at.
Just one more reason Indiana Jones hates snakes 🐍
I find the total lack of empathy for the victims and families pathetic. They didn't vote for the CPC.
actually, il is confirmed that the virus is from wild animals, probably bats. There is a illegal market who sells these wild animals. EVERYONE IN CHINA DOES NOT EAT THIS KIND OF SHIT!
Hy
Suspending all travel out of China would slow the spread of the Corona virus. Why hasn’t this been done to protect the rest of the world. Coronavirus China
All f****** sneaky snakes are the same!
They really need to be honest and just say the virus got out of the Max Security Biolab there in Wuhan
It’s bc they eat everything Smfh I bet this is why they sick .. bc they ain’t the damn snakes 🐍..
Chinese have been eating snakes for 2 thousand years yet a virus just suddenly jumps from snake to humans? It couldn't possibly be a man made virus which escaped ....even though there are two labs in the city that modify viruses? Which is more plausable?
Why is Bill Gates involved
The animals are fighting back with all the cruelty they have to endure !!!!!
Why eat snakes?
China...tell your people Stop sleeping with Snakes!
They Look like Republicans! 😱
Interesting
🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Nature protecting itself.
Lilyogilvie
Fake news. it is a bioweapon. a modified strain of the bat caronavirus that was made to infect humans at the lab that is only 8 miles away from the fish market they traced the source to.
Anti Hisstamines should clear that up
I really hope they get this WuTangVirus under control.
Why not, manufacture more biologicals
🏃♂️🚀
We have Trump - does that mean the US is infected?
ChrisCuomo Snakes aren’t the only animals that can carry it.
ChrisCuomo Alright. Who fucked a cobra? 🐍
ChrisCuomo What won’t these folks eat? lordy.
The US owns the patent for coronavirus & many other biological weapons look it up at US patent office. The US wants regime change in China so they sent them the virus, again! STORM CNN & DRAG THEM OUT BY THE HAIR, THEY CAN'T STAY INSIDE FOREVER!, ENUF OF THEIR TREASONABLE LIES!
I've never heard a snake cough before
I heard there is a infectious disease research facility in wuhan. Near that market.👇 they study SARS and Ebola. Sure it's not related. Nbd. Did they try and rename Coronavirus SARI ? Cringe guys.
This is fake news. It was first presumed to be from snakes, but later analysis has shown significant homology with bat coronaviruses. Which makes most sense since sars and mers also originated from bats.
Stop eating weird animals!!!
GeekTrader Could China just, like, quit eating weird shit?
Shush..now all the crazies will start killing snakes
CarolPierce347 THEY ARE SOME NASTY PEOPLE
FRUMPTY DUMPTY
Where do they get the names of all this viruses 🙄
Congress should place sanctions on the snakes..the snàkes are ageñts acting for the late Gen Soulemani...BAD
Ha! The Rapture!!
Snakes and killer virus- MY WORST NIGHTMARE!
Slytherin house is back at it again...
We're equally alive to the fact that snakes are delicacy in the Far East.
Rubbish! It's from the Rhino's and Pandolins etc from Africa! Kill me for my horn and scales etc!! It's called Karma!!!
Snakes have led to the downfall of many men,you can ask Adam🐍🐍.
Snakes in mid winter? Does wuhan people eat snake meat in winter? Next time says it from pets so people stop eating pet meat.
Jack in the Box disease years ago had cobra venom it 🤔🤔🤔
I bet it has nothing to do with the fact they eat dogs and rats and bats and anything else they can find.
and while we're on the subject of chinese buffets , have u noticed that the bones in 'sweet and sour pork' don't correspond to any bones in any other pork u'v eaten ? hmmm ....
Anyone ever read the book 'World War Z'? Doesn't this stuff sound a lot like how the war in that book started?
Well its no surprise because you people eat whatever you find.
This makes no sense at all but ok lol
Forget taking off your shoes in a scanner.. Countries with poor food standards need blood tests before gettin on planes.
I thought it was created in a petri dish.
Im not surprised
Is this by eating snakes thet vauses the outbreak.
I would think it’s the Civet Cats. Similar to the SARS outbreak, civet cats, a known Chinese delicacy, were being consumed in 2004. They are again being consumed and sold in the Wuhan markets...
Its a man made virus, originally developed to fight chest infections,, but its mutated and is now causing them. Isn’t nature wonderful.
AberdareOnline you aberdarerians got a lot to answer for
中国会好的，谢谢关心！
Warren caused this?
They’d eat their own mum them lot if someone told them it’d fix something
We in Ireland are therefore safe....
cireshika1 Its bat or lab
Nobody in this world loves snakes! By the world going to war and destroying them would make all of our lives better.
Eat too much.
CorleoneMontani First culprit - Bats (Bat Soup)? Now the Chinese Cobra? What next? The Koala Bear?
Marvellous, so now I have to look for a snake with a runny nose.
So people in china were having sex with deadly cobras? This is how A.I.D.S. started.
Thank fuck I live in Ireland 😂
WTF？？？
FML snake flu gonna kill us all!!! I’m shook I tell you 😳
Probably not
The virus is fucking patented lol
