My question is simply this, why has this virus come about now?
For instance, these so called wet markets with wild life have been a part of the way of life for many many years, why only now it’s happening and not earlier? What’s the difference from earlier days, compared to now?

Coronavirus has been around since the '60s.

I would assume that population explosion and low-cost travel are to blame for the pandemic we're seeing now.

To be pedantic, it was discovered in the 60s, its been around a lot longer. A significant proportion of what people describe as common colds are due to coronaviruses.

Yes, my bad.

It's been around for about 10,000 years (I believe).

It's called OVER-POPULATION
Lols.

The 'Concentration' of filth in China leads to the mutations of bacteria. These people probably don't even wash themselves either.

It is the fault of China's MILITARY Government that 'allows' this to happen.

Okay, we have over population in India too, and comparing their crowded cities to China, India is much dirtier and their waters are filthy, dead animals, dead people, (due to poor circumstances not able to afford proper burial) floating in their waterways. We all know the story, are we going to expect a new virus outbreak from India because of the filth and squalor in some parts of their over populated poorer areas?

India is predicted to take over China in population.
Then put into perspective, land size of their countries with this population, makes India very populated per land mass compared to China.
China = 9.597 kms 2
India = 3.287 kms 2

Maybe this is just mother nature reducing our population
to acceptable levels?

Re: the FAT VIRUS ...

The Universal Law of Fat applies:

The amount of Fat in the Universe is constant.
Fat can neither be created nor destroyed, merely passed from one host to another.
