    There are several reasons factory farms seem to elevate the risk of novel viral outbreaks—especially variations of avian and swine flu. First, crowding animals together in close confinement can induce stress and suppress their immune systems, raising parasite loads and making animals more susceptible to infections; second, as all of us have learned after catching a cold in school or at work, viral transmission is facilitated by animals being kept in proximity to one another; third, close contact between different species of animals gives viruses a continuous opportunity to mutate and reassort to create new strains; fourth, many factory farms confine animals to indoor spaces that lack adequate sunlight or ventilation, which allows viruses to survive longer without a host; and finally, because animals on factory farms are often genetically similar, they can be more susceptible to specific parasites

  2. I know in the UK there was an strong attempt at trying to reassure young people that this wasn't another Spanish Flu. And that's the stats where in our favour because the Daily Mail and others where telling us we would die in huge numbers . Even their comment section was critical of their headlines . It was seen as causing too much distress in the younger population.

    Where I lived in the North West of England a lot of younger people suffered with outbreaks of heavy cold / flu like symptoms at this time . The chief medical officer wasn't to suprised by the cases .
    I had realtivley mild symptoms

  5. High demand for animal protein, its crowded drug-oriented production farms, its contagious diseases & dietary disorder impact appear as a top threat to human survival. "Medical science is only in its infancy, yet it has shown that our natural diet is that which grows out of the ground. The people will gradually develop up to the condition of this natural food." ~ 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahai Faith
