The article discusses the alarming increase in infectious disease outbreaks globally, attributed to climate change and increased human encroachment on wildlife habitats. These changes facilitate the spillover of viruses from animals to humans, exacerbated by factors such as livestock production and the global meat trade, which foster conditions for superbugs. While improved detection technology helps identify outbreaks more rapidly, the overall trend points to a new era of pandemics. Staying informed and vaccinated is crucial for individuals in this evolving landscape of infectious diseases.
Human encroachment into wild areas brings us into contact with wildlife, increasing the risk of viruses jumping from animals to humans, contributing to new outbreaks.
Advances in detection technology mean we are spotting outbreaks faster, but this isn't the sole reason for the rising trend of infectious diseases.
