Thought for the Day: 

COVID-19 is a zoonotic virus: one that spreads between animals and humans. Researchers have noted that 75% of emerging infectious organisms pathogenic to humans are zoonotic in origin.

I encourage everyone to research and understand why similar microbial perfect storms will be recurrent events.
