To me, meat consumption is a much more likely victim. Pandemics are caused by high-density livestock. Once everyone understands the costs, I don't think people will think meat is worth it. COVID-19 = Meat Market 1918 Spanish Flu = Slaughterhouse H1N1 = Chicken Swine Flu = Pork

I hope you’re right, but I doubt it. This will be blamed on exotic meats only, (with some justification), and traditional factory farming will just face more regulation. Plant-based proteins are a promising development but so far don’t seem on a trajectory to displace meat

Asian countries apparantly have no problem with it, so I doubt it. Aren’t econ benefits too high? Everyone’s acting like they can keep up 24/7 zoom meetings indefinitely, when people are fraying already.

This article seems to be more idle musings than reporting. Is there any evidence that city dwellers have a higher chance of getting it vs suburbanites wrestling over a pallet of TP at Costco?
