I never saw any bats or civets (whose butchering has also been responsible for novel viruses from China in the past), but am not surprised that people eat them. The world needs to wake up and put pressure on China to end this barbaric practice. The Chinese could at least separate the stalls that kill and butcher these wild animals to avoid the obvious cross-contamination that occurs there.

One of the problems is insufficient protein in China. Hence, people literally cook and eat anything that flies, crawls or walks.
You mentioned the wet market. Since you cited that, here’s a link that shows how that market operates. I know you said you’ve seen one but most people haven’t. If any viewer has a delicate stomach, you really don’t want to look at this … it's indeed disgusting and, more accurately, revolting to most Westerners.

The wet market is a petri dish for all types of bad things to develop therein for sure. But the question of whether, or not, there is also a bio-engineering component, using the market as an obvious cover, is no doubt being studied inside classified channels. If that turns out to be true, I think the most likely explanation is an unintentional release (i.e incompetence) accidentally introduced it into the wet market vs a deliberate unleashing.
