In my own opinion, I believe that due to the lack of money and help from the government the Chinese had to resort to extreme means to feed themselves and their families. This is in no way their fault and probably is our fault as America and richer countries to not help and aid them. So from the lack of money in the slums of China, I think they had to eat not clean and weird things to stay alive which transmitted the virus from an animal to a human.
