Thailand using drones gather DNA fragments in air from wildlife
*rapid disease screening
*then remote lab sequencing
they can collect whatever virus animals shedding into air, any disease that could jump from bats to pigs and chickens to humans

In Cambodia, @FAO
 scientists are pioneering a groundbreaking method to detect zoonotic diseases using drones.

By collecting bat DNA from the air, they aim to prevent the next epidemic and protect both animals and humans.

DJ, There may be techniques used for food-quality control that also may play a role in limiting disease spread. 

Step one is detecting the disease...you have to start somewhere...

Minnesota health officials investigating after five children fall ill from raw milk

DJ...YES raw milk may have diseases-a.o. H5N1...children may have limited immunity...

A lot of facts are known but ignored...One can have the best science/data...but if it is not used it may be pointless....The Paris-olympics a.o. is turning into a mass spread event for CoViD....but "no masks allowed"....
