woman excluded in workplace

Divergent, dissenting voices are vital for growth and innovation.

Did corruption trigger the coronavirus outbreak?

The latest lethal strain of coronavirus arose at a wild animal meat market in Wuhan, China, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The market, now closed, was home to stalls trading wild animals such as pangolins, the latest suspect in the investigations. These outbreaks start in the murky waters between legal and illegal trade, where bushmeat and dodgy packages travel long distances on commercial routes, aided by bribes and legal loopholes. So corruption could well have triggered the coronavirus epidemic. https://blog.fraudcracker.com/did-corruption-trigger-the-coronavirus-outbreak/ #corruption #coronavirusoutbreak
