Don\u2019t blame the bats: It\u2019s human environmental and social policies that pave the<\/strong> way for devastating pandemics.<\/strong> The prevalent narrative around microbes pits them as invaders that attack us, but it\u2019s actually relentless human encroachment into new habitats that turns previously harmless organisms into devastating global pandemics, argues author Sonia Shah in an interview with Vox<\/a>. In our ever-expanding search for land, we bring ourselves into closer proximity with creatures like bats \u2014 in whom microbes like Ebola or the new coronavirus exist without causing disease (because that\u2019s where they\u2019ve evolved). With our amazing global transport system, pathogens that emerge in the most remote locations can easily be transmitted to urban hubs. And with human environmental practices reducing biodiversity, we\u2019re eliminating a natural mechanism of slowing the transmission of diseases that can make the jump from animal to human, or vice versa.<\/p>\n

We need to shift our approach, or else covid-19 is just the start:<\/strong> Like it or not, human health is connected to that of animals \u2014 domestic and wild \u2014 and ecosystems in general, argues Shah. There needs to be a paradigm shift away from what she calls microbial xenophobia, or the idea of the germ invading from the outside. And with the likelihood being that the virus that causes covid-19 came from a wild-animal market in China, there should be a re-examining of our own meat production as well, she says. Crowded factory farms are the perfect breeding ground for highly drug-resistant forms of bacterial pathogens and virulent avian influenza \u2014 both of which have been scaring scientists long before covid-19 reared its ugly head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
