The Pangolin, considered by scientists as the medium through which the coronavirus infected humans, is "the world's most trafficked mammal", accounting for 20% of all illegal wildlife trade. The world should come down hard and without mercy against the international wildlife trade mafia! No ifs or buts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangolin_trade

Aerosol and Surface Stability of SARS-CoV-2 as Compared with SARS-CoV-1 | NEJM

Correspondence from The New England Journal of Medicine — Aerosol and Surface Stability of SARS-CoV-2 as Compared with SARS-CoV-1

Some hope the Tourism sector will change as a result of the CoronaVirus, and become more sustainable. The truth is that this largely conservative, hierarchical industry is not greatly impacted by disasters. Did the 2004 tsunami stop coastal resorts?

The truth is that this largely conservative, hierarchical industry is not greatly impacted by disasters. Did the 2004 tsunami stop coastal resorts? No. Thus only voters can change Tourism, by electing forces that really care about Ecological Sustainability, Social Justice, Grassroots/Economic Democracy and Peace & Non-Violence. Positive, concrete goals that the tourism industry could and should support after the coronavirus crisis are improved sanitation facilities and access to clean water for communities in many countries and access to refrigeration for all, so that there can be an effective ban on wildlife meat markets. Tourism has once more been proven to be a high-risk industry for all involved (employees, owners, investors), so the risk should be minimised and the only way to do so is to improve the life of communities.

What is certain is that there is a serious risk of collapse for major airlines, tour operators and hotel chains. It is unclear if specialist operators and smaller accommodation providers are in a better position. Who will pay customer refunds, wages, suppliers and so on? The World Tourism Organization should now prove that its relevance goes far beyond issuing wonderful press releases each September 27. Show more
