In the last 40 years worldwide we've had;

Swine flu
Middle East respiratory syndrome / MERS-CoV
Ebola
Zika virus
COVID-19

This is because we are destroying the natural world and encroaching on it in a way evolution can't arm us to resist. Black Death 1346–1353 Europe, Asia and North Africa wiped out 75–200 million (10–60% of European population)

How bad will the next or next worldwide pandemic be? They will be worse than Covid.

What animals thrive in that enviroment? Vermin.

Unless we stop incresing CONSUMPTION AND POPULATIONS drasically the future looks bad.
