They need an intermediate animal where it can mutate and further jump to humans. The only virus bats can directly transfer to humans and infect us is rabies. What about Ebola? Bats directly transfer that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that enough or you want tk know what capitalism has to do with poverty as well? Capitalism is extremely flawed but it has pulled more people out of poverty in the last 50 years than any other system in human history. China and India went from dirt poor to major world economies. There are a lot of problems with extreme unregulated capitalism and a government's job is to control it directly and indirectly. Western European countries manage to do a good balance of both welfare state and free market capitalism. Where our country has failed specifically is a poorly managed and very corrupt PDS system that allows people to starve and not recognising health as a basic human right at all, which the rest of the world has been doing since the 2nd World War. Our network of govt. hospitals is too small to make any difference and many are poorly run. Even poor people have to go to private doctors. Labour laws are also not enforced and workers are usually underpaid for the workd they do. That leads to a widening gap between rich and poor.

Fruit bats -> chimps/antelopes -> humans, but just like Covid-19 no one knows about the first jumped case from animals to human. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America has been largely successful with capitalism, it worked for the majority of part cuz they were manufacturing, employed 100s of thousands of people in places like Flint, Michigan. Then they couldn’t control ever rising labour costs (And they got greedy...) so they started looking options in Mexico, China, India... Now, they have large population which cannot afford to go colleges, if they do they get sucked in loans, flipping burgers for 8$ doesn’t buy sh*t. University Students sell their plasma to buy books, how fked up is that. Because they can’t go to colleges, they can’t do most of the jobs which require expertise, so they live off flipping burgers and food stamps. If this continues, they might not have many American professors in varsities and one of the best education system they have, will be run by migrants...mostly Indians.

Very little communism left in China except for the fact that they are authoritarian.

Soviet Union fell almost 30 years ago and not one country is interested in going towards communism now. This communism paranoia has turned usa into cofortably the world's worst first world country today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 What about nipah? Doesn't that go from bats>fruits> humans? When I went to village during that outbreak happened, ppl were avoiding eating jackfruits and mangoes esp the one that had even the slightest amount of damage.

Big Boss Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Yes I actually wanted to mention nipah instead of Ebola. Nipah outbreak was there recently in Kerela right? Jackfruit was causing it in humans iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnackChap Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 We had one in Kerala and they contained it well. One of the reasons why their contact tracing has been better than most states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The government has also stated that in case there are no reports of fresh Covid-19 infections from a Red Zone district in 14 days, it would be moved to the Orange Zone and if no new cases emerge in 28 days, it will be shifted to the Green Zone." So i doubt any Red Zone areas would be operational from Monday or 3rd May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
