For well over a year we’ve been living through the devastating consequences of a highly transmissible coronavirus. While the pandemic it caused is unprecedented by many measures, the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19 is just one of many SARS-related coronaviruses lurking among wildlife in some regions of the world, many of which could theoretically jump to human populations under the right conditions.
Figuring out what those conditions are is an urgent priority, and scientists have made a lot of progress on that front. They’ve learned, for example, that when forests get fragmented by deforestation or roads, it increases the likelihood of a virus “spilling over” from animal to human. What’s more of a mystery is where, exactly, those conditions come together to create the highest risk for the next coronavirus emergence.
A new analysis, published Monday in the journal Nature Food, begins to answer that important question — specifically, by pinpointing where another coronavirus could jump to humans from horseshoe bats, which are known to carry SARS-related coronaviruses. By combining data on horseshoe bat habitats, land-use change, human population density, and other factors known to increase the risk of spillover, the researchers produced a map of “hot spots” in Asia and Europe where the risk is highest.
While the study doesn’t offer new insights about the origins of the novel coronavirus, which researchers suspect came from bats, it does point out where similar coronaviruses could emerge in the future. Alarmingly, the study finds that in many regions, especially southern China, these spillover risks are high. And it provides yet more evidence that preventing the next coronavirus pandemic will require reducing the root causes of a spillover, such as deforestation - not just responding to outbreaks after they happen.

Commie plot Don’t listen to them
“Did CV-19 jump from animal to human ?”
no. VOX is perpetuating the lie that covid-19 is a “natural” virus, even though there’s overwhelming evidence that covid-19 was assembled in the Wuhan lab during gain-of-function “experiments” funded by the NIH via a Fauci cutout agency, including critical portions of the covid-19 DNA not found in nature and the fact that no chain of animal to human adaptations can be found for covid-19:

Why does the next “pandemic” microorganism have to be a coronavirus? It could be any of a number of other pathogens that perhaps affect swine, or horses, or various other domesticated or even wild animals.
Cholera is one possibility, and in fact, as a water-borne disease, it was a serious problem in Colonial America. With a little tweaking, it could be made into a serious threat to humanity once again. Or diptheria. Or typhus or typhoid fever.
There are more ways to spread mischief than people even think about.
Forget cornaviruses. If you really want to screw things up, go for an airborne lyssavirus that spreads among humans. Closest thing you’ll get to the “rage” from “24 Days Later.”
What doe u mean jump to Humans.
It didn’t jump. It was created by humans.
The answer is simple: Wuhan.
I’m waiting to see when the next coronavirus is released, I mean leaks, I mean spreads throughout the population. Then what of the “vaccinated” peoples?
Where are the Chinese biological labs?
Let me guess...
...WUHAN!!!
I’m right, aren’t I?
LOL. Reminds me of 1978 when one of the last vials of Smallpox escaped from a British lab a few decades ago.

The next pandemic will seal the deal forever, therefore it is already in the works.
Here ya go!
China building more than 90 bio labs, including 3 just like Wuhan
Wuhan Lab (as long as it’s still running)
Never trust an article written by someone named “Benji”. Frauds all the way down.
What other bioweapons labs are there for it to “escape” from?
VOX is a very far-left, anti-American operation. We need to find who is behind them re creation, funding, staff, etc.
I haven’t seen any major exposes about it.
If you liked Rona19, you’ll LOVE Rona21, bigger, deadlier, and with 10x the tyranny!
