Two points worth noting:
1. Factory farming breeds viruses -- one of the main reasons people have been saying "when, not if" about pandemics for decades. We happened to get a coronavirus this time, but factory farms will produce a flu pandemic soon enough if we don't stop them, which we can. Here are two videos by Dr. Michael Greger for background:
- Pandemics: History & Prevention: https://youtu.be/7_ppXSABYLY https://youtu.be/7_ppXSABYLY
- Can we stop a future pandemic? Dr. Michael Greger M.D explains what’s next: https://youtu.be/N0pvR92XT30 https://youtu.be/N0pvR92XT30
2. We keep making markets more and more efficient and then lament when there's no resilience and small problems affect everyone everywhere. Redundancies and other inefficiencies aren't bad.
