'I really hope that this will mean that the Chinese government ... will say, 'OK, guys, we have really got to get super hygienic around here.'' McCartney, 77, said on Howard Stern's SiriusXM program Tuesday.
China — where live and dead creatures including bats are sold as food and for alleged medicinal purposes — is the likely source of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
"They might as well be, you know, letting off atomic bombs because this is affecting the whole world," he added."Whoever is responsible for this is at war with the world and itself; it just doesn't make sense any sense at all." McCartney said he was in Sussex, England, in quarantine with his daughter Mary and her family. His wife, Nancy, is quarantining in the U.S."So that's pretty rough," he said.
