Sorta from the Trespassers from the ATD future - modernity to blame!

[Mark Kohut]

Takeaway from this doc on reasons for the dangerous present and future: 
 
"Why are more new viruses with pandemic potential jumping from their traditional animal hosts to humans now? If I had to choose a single word answer it would be: "modernity." If I had two more words, I would add "human irresponsibility." And of course so much of this peril is made much worse by the Great Exacerbator -- climate change and global warming.
