Just spoke with Dr. Fauci on a conference call about China's decision to reopen their wet markets.

He emphatically stated this was a crazy decision by China which puts the world's health at risk.

Bringing wild and exotic animals to open markets to interact with humans and other food supplies is both crazy and dangerous.

Hope my Republican and Democratic Senate colleagues will sign onto my letter to the Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. urging the immediate closure of these wet markets for the safety of the world at large.
