The next pandemic is probably just around the corner, as usual the human race is complacent.

@zleap @inquiline@union.place clearly bird flu is the next in line - we already had a swine-flu scare after all. it even had it's own rushed and flawed vaccine, [pandemrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix#Narcolepsy). at least back then a handful of cases was enough to properly investigate and stop things, compared to ten years later.
if anything these animal pathogens tell us something about how we should and shouldn't do agriculture. maybe keeping thousands of the same animal in close proximity isn't that clever.
@bonifartius @inquiline@union.place
But keeping lots of animals together = bigger yield, more profit and bigger shareholder dividends
So common sense and public health vs capitalism, we have an uphill climb here I guess.

Or in this case, give the potential risk, Russian roulette
@genmaicha @zleap @inquiline@union.place well, they really did like their blocks! :P
