Worse still, pigs can also pick up influenza strains that circulate among birds, whose viruses aren’t well adapted to infecting and spreading among people. Humans don’t have the receptors in our throats and noses that avian flus can easily attach to. Our isolation from avian flus is what makes them dangerous—since our immune systems rarely encounter them, we have little innate ability to fight them off. Enter pigs. They can catch flu strains from birds (often carrying them without symptoms), mash them up with genetic material from human-adapted flus, and create novel varieties capable of flummoxing human immunity and generating #pandemics. That’s why virologists call hogs “mixing vessels” for novel influenza strains."

Emergency response to climate disasters should automatically include public health actions to mitigate outbreaks. In addition, health systems should adapt to changing disease transmission patterns and the global mobility of people, animals, and goods. "

ProPublica spent months teaching a computer to analyze past Ebola #outbreaks linked to #deforestation.
What we found reveals a weakness in the way that governments and #PublicHealth experts are preparing for future #pandemics.

The ‘taken-for-granted’ disappears
A look out of the window or at the screen shows a world where our 'ontological security' is disappearing. Our very fundamental sense of being is being broken. Our sense of continuity of our lives is ruptured. Multiple crisis rock the sense of the self. All of a sudden we are all at the ‘front-lines’ of experiencing the polycrisis.
Ontological security
