@Bones yea I wonder how many of these viruses are being discovered anyway that have the 'potential' but dont... @Tim ?
Or are we entering a new era where this is going to become more common?
A couple of things.
I think that better technology means that we know they are out there , detect them earlier, etc, but can't fix it with either a vaccine or a remedy once detected. Hopefully that will come, but probably quite some time.
The other side of it is overpopulation, urbanisation. This shit just spreads like wildfire now. Too many people in close proximity. Hong Kong is battery people (as in battery hens).
Oh and stop eating bats, civet cats and rats or whatever the fuck else is going on. Probably pork too as pigs are genetically close to humans and viral transmission is apparently more common, hence there being several types and outbreaks of swine flu.
Having said all of that, yes ask @Tim and get some highly scientific answer that we won't understand.
Certainly more newsworthy - just put the shits up people even more why don't they?
A minor rant but I have been at the epicenter of a few of these things (they are mostly from southern China - see stop eating weird shit and over population comments) and I'm still here.

And a previous report at Bloomberg noted the cost to manufacture remdesivir is only $9 per treatment.
Hydroxychloroquine is only $1 per treatment!The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (https://aapsonline.org) filed a lawsuit against Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA for “irrational interference” by the FDA with timely access to hydroxychloroquine.
Never in history have we seen such a determined effort by the scientific community and pharmaceutical industry to downplay and lie about the use of a successful drug to treat a deadly disease.

Hydroxychloroquine is the first choice in a study of 6,000 doctors treating the coronavirus.
In the field and in independent testing hydroxychloroquine displayed amazing results in treating the COVID-19 virus.But there was great pushback against hydroxychloroquine for two reasons. The first reason was because it was safe and very inexpensive. The second reason is because Donald Trump promoted its use.
It is not a stretch to say the Democrat establishment would rather see people die than see President Trump be proven right.
As we reported earlier from the beginning Dr. Fauci was against the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus. **Fauci was thrilled about its use just a few years ago.
Dr. Fauci did promote the use of remdesivir. He was excited to share the news on its effectiveness in April.
Gilead, the company that produces remdesivir, is a large company that spends millions in its lobbying efforts annually**:

Some good news at last. Lockdown is easing in many countries. Austria an The Netherlands have announced the Re-opening of.... brothels.
Why they weren’t on the essential list in the first place is beyond me.

It is traditional way of spreading diseases.

Well, you say that but you'd think of all the places that have protocols in place already...

Dr Trump.
Hydroxychloroquine helped save coronavirus patients, study shows; Trump campaign hails 'fantastic news'. Drug touted by Trump was mocked by media
His actions were still irresponsible. Leave drug advice to the experts. It appears to be useful in a very narrow mode of application. Doesn't help if people end up trying to snap up the drug and it actually harms those who aren't already infected and about to get very sick

And yet WHO have now suspended trials of hydroxychloroquine. Who to believe?
