There is much evidence that the Covid-19 disease emanates from a ‘wet’ market in Wuhan China. Here they slaughter wild animals in the market. Blood is spread. Viruses in these animals transfer to humans.
We need a worldwide ban on wildlife farming and illegal wildlife imports!!
Morning Opher.
Agreed, an immediate ban on wildlife farming and illegal imports is essential.
An acceleration in the elimination of global hunger and malnutrition is equally as essential:
‘The annual UN (2018) report found that climate variability affecting rainfall patterns and agricultural seasons, and climate extremes such as droughts and floods, are among the key drivers behind the rise in hunger, together with conflict and economic slowdowns.’ (1)
“If we are to achieve a world without hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030, it is imperative that we accelerate and scale up actions to strengthen the resilience and adaptive capacity of food systems and people’s livelihoods in response to climate variability and extremes,”
I believe a united, collaborative, cooperative and fully integrated world is fundamental to achieving such worthy goals, but whilst those that lead insist on turning our globe on an axis of fool’s gold, it is likely we will not be successful.

You’ve said it Dewin. The world has shown what it can do when it wants to. It’s no good going back to the old ways of inequality and competition. Time to be international and cooperative!!
Agreed, inequality and poverty in its myriad forms must be resolved. World governments must demonstrate true leadership and hold to a vision for a better, more progressive and equitable world. A psychological shift in their mindset is imperative.

We keep electing psychopaths and sociopaths. It’s time we started electing caring people who want to made things right.
Long overdue…
I agree. It sickens me! Humans can be so cruel and thoughtless.
