So you think the Chinese government is going to close down wet markets or at least enact laws that makes them more hygienic? Well, think again. There is nothing what humankind or specifically the Chinese can do so this epidemic would not be repeated. Poor people do anything to survive, and the rich like to eat exotic food.
Gutter oil:
"Chinese civilians would open sewers / man hole covers, and extract the contents using long poles, and then boil the contents to extract oil to sell to restaurants for cooking."
Yes, people visiting China and eating at the Holiday Inn buffet (not a joke) got sick because the oil contained gutter (or sewer) oil. For further discussion:
"Happened to me too on my most recent visit. Also from a hotel buffet. I was shitting and vomiting bile"
"A documentary I watched indicated 10% of all cooking oil in China being contaminated with "Gutter Oil" since they will cut real cooking oil with the gutter oil to reduce costs/sell more. They have commercial drums of this stuff that they'll distribute to restaurants, hotels, and street vendors."
