These deaths are preventable. Nonetheless, they
continue. If the people who we trust our lives to are
this careless and negligent, what can we expect from
the average person who hasn’t been trained in science

Even now, with all of our new modern medical
advancements and scientific breakthroughs, infectious

of outbreaks don’t reach pandemic proportions, as did
the coronavirus.
You get no argument from me; I get it. Most often,
animals transmit diseases, but humans are (without a

them. Animals don’t buy plane tickets, take cruises or
pack out stadiums. Nor do animals cough and sneeze
all over classrooms, supermarkets, buses and the
workplace.

“I suppose as long as there are humans, there will
always be pestilences, plagues, infectious diseases,
contagious viruses— and deadly consequences.”
