The discovery of the Bombali virus in free-tailed bats is the first time a strain of Ebola has been confirmed prior to an outbreak. It is not yet known to what extent it could mutate. ‘Viruses surprise us all the time,’ says Professor Tracey Goldstein, the co-principal lead on pathogen detection for Predict at UC Davis.
She points to extrapolated figures that suggest there may be a staggering 3,200 different types of coronavirus harboured in bats alone. ‘Keeping your eyes on understanding what might be coming up ahead and testing and learning from these viruses once we have found them is critically important.’
Where once virus hunters took to pristine rain forests to locate disease, this is changing as human populations expand. Africa’s population is expected to double by 2050, exceeding more than 2 billion people. As people encroach ever further into the environment, the potential to encounter new viruses for which we have no natural immunity is huge.

Problem is if we are going to let every new virus that comes along change our lives simply because we are still buying the DBM/ BS we are in for a long siege of one virus after another.
There are thousands of virus in Africa alone that can be transferred from animals to humans. Many are like the common flu.If we react to each and every new virus like we are to corona 19 we will be falling right into the driveby trap.
What does it do? It's harder to detect up to 30 days. But other than that it's very similar to the common flu with almost the same death toll percentages 2-3%. So why all the fuss I don't get it!!
If this thing does not respond well to hot weather it will so similar to the flu we will finally realize we have been duped.
