(2,718 posts)The warming climate is allowing more and more insects, rodents, and small critters to migrate north. A decade ago, our vet was flabbergasted that our dog here in Denver had the first BOT fly he had ever seen.......Same with West Nile Virus here in the front range of the rockies, increasing every year. (Warnings already this year by the State Health Department)
Same with the disastrous/deadly Tick viruses spreading west from New England.......
Our poultry farms here in Colorado have been destroying zillions of Turkeys and Chickens for AVIAN flu since it was realized it could spread to humans years ago
........
Skunk populations have increased across the Front Range Metro Areas of Colorado.....they are being forced from the drought stricken prairies East of Denver, into front range cities. Skunks are THE most rabid animals in Colorado, and have invaded the cities along our northern from Range.....Colorado Springs to Cheyenne.......
It is just a matter of time before the next Covid......Or maybe even a worse Virus. AND thanks to Trump and the Republicans, we will be far LESS prepared for the next one.......and know this: The next time around, Health Workers, Doctors, Nurses, etc will just walk away, when it is first recognized, and stay at home......They ALL learned their lesson during the Covid Pandemic...........Same with the entire staff's of the CDC, WHO, etc etc.....
