Snapdeal co-founder Kunal Bahl has lashed out at China for opening its wet market which is touted to be the place where the origin of coronavirus took place. Reacting on Twitter to news that the 'wet markets' - where 'perishable' animals and fish are sold for consumption - have once again opened in China though under watchful eyes of authorities, Bahl wrote "Incorrigible. What will it take for them to stop?" underscoring his response with a face-in-hands emoji.

Netizens too blasted China for re-opening the wet markets which has so far infected many across the globe and killing about 40,000. Even WHO had stated that the origin of the virus happens to be the wet market with a shrimp selller from the market recently identified as patient zero. The virus itself is said to have jumped from a bat - a species that is sold at such markets along with others such as dogs and even pangolins.
