A general reminder: the conditions of almost all meat agriculture completely unnecessarily risks evolving a worldwide pandemic pathogen. This in addition to: air, water and soil pollution, climate change and antimicrobial resistances. Throw in animal welfare, but most people don't care based on their actions.
Thousands of animals peeing, pooping and sleeping in such close proximity, combined with close proximity to people who raise them, is the biggest risk. It would be like putting every human in submarine-sized Uyghur concentration camps (or "cruise ships" if you want to call them), and then being "surprised" about pneumococcal or norovirus outbreaks.
