   DJ, "A few diseases to watch" means a need for increased testing ! 
We need extra finance to go to public health, study on diseases, spread...

One of the reasons why we may NOT see money going there is because we do know a lot of the answers; We have to change the way we live because we are killing ourselves...

The situation of #H5N1 feels like watching a car crash in slow motion….where’s the global push to contain the spread of this virus in so many animals?

DJ, Both CoViD and H5N1 have become widespread in mammals. Cat/rat-like animals eat infected birds catching H5N1.  CoViD did spread from humans into animals...

One of my questions is if there was a link between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus#2018%E2%80%932020_African_swine_fever_panzootic or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus#2018%E2%80%932020_African_swine_fever_panzootic and the start of CoViD...

A WHO-study does not think a "lab-leak" is that likely. CoViD-19=SARS-2...We had SARS-1 in 2003. That WAS contained...MERS is still around-but limited...

The basic question/idea is one disease may not stay in one species/host-animal...it can also start/increase risks for other diseases...

CoViD did increase risks for H5N1 as a next pandemic...
