The source of the coronavirus outbreak is almost certainly a wildlife/seafood market in Wuhan.
Bats are suspected as being the original source of the virus, which was then passed to some unknown wildlife species, and from that point, mutated to infect humans.
The market was shut down some weeks ago.
The Wuhan market also sold both live and dead wildlife of many exotic species. A proportion of these animals were sold live, so as to "be more fresh for the buyer".
Here is a video interview with the New York Times correspondent in Beijing. Steven Lee Myers joins CBSN to talk about the potential link.:

I have a feeling Steven Lee Myers and the video clips from the market have censored quite a few things from the report....
And he did not clearly answer the interviewer's question about what happened to the "merchandise" when the Wuhan market was closed on January 1st this year
