Wasn't it one of the HsomethingNsomethingelse virus that bred in chicken mega factories, then jumped to humans via pig mega factories?

Greed will probably kill us all...

"The special susceptibility of pigs to infection with avian and mammalian influenza viruses, the close proximity of pigs and poultry farms, and applied human practices in raising and trading of farm animals/farm animal products, provide opportunities for genetic exchange and interspecies transmission of influenza A viruses. "


Practically every virus that's ever threatened us originates in animals.


Quote;
"These viruses are generally benign in the host, but mutate, adapt themselves to a different species and become lethal.

Thus tuberculosis was acquired millennia ago through goats, measles came from sheep and goats, smallpox from camels, leprosy from water buffalo, whooping cough from pigs, typhoid fever from chickens and the cold virus from cattle and horses. These zoonoses rarely get to humans directly, but via the bridge of another species.

Civets were the route for SARS to get from bats to humans; with MERS it was camels. Covid-19 originated in bats, but probably got to us by way of an infected pangolin, a rare and endangered scaly anteater whose meat is considered a delicacy in some parts of the world and whose scales are used in traditional medicines."


Avian influenza is the biggest and most serious threat to us as a species. Just look at the Spanish Flu. If things don't change drastically very soon then our mistreatment and exploitation of animals for our benefit is going to cost us - as a species - more than most of us could imagine in our worst nightmares.

I reckon Covid-25 will be THE ONE!

Fuck me! Wide screen Daily Mail and neon blue text on black.
At least I can still read the between post and sidebar style ads.
Must go to Barnard Castle soon.
