It has been reported that the Coronavirus pandemic first originated in Wuhan, China. According to several reports, the disease first infected humans when someone in Wuhan consumed the flesh of a wild animal. For those unaware, China reportedly has an enormous industry that deals with farming and selling of wildlife meat. These wildlife meat markets were reportedly outlawed after the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic.

However, recent reports are now claiming that China has once again reopened these wildlife meat markets. Actor Raveena Tandon recently tweeted about this after she was enraged by the reports. She voiced her displeasure on the microblogging site.
