Why are we catching more diseases from animals?
The world is grappling with the new coronavirus, which has spread from China to at least 15 other countries.
Outbreaks of new infectious diseases are typically seen as a "one off".
But the new virus - thought to have stemmed from wildlife - highlights our risk from animal-borne disease. This is likely to be more of a problem in future as climate change and globalisation alter the way animals and humans interact.
How can animals make people ill?
In the past 50 years, a host of infectious diseases have spread rapidly after making the evolutionary jump from animals to humans.
The HIV/Aids crisis of the 1980s originated from great apes, the 2004-07 avian flu pandemic came from birds, and pigs gave us the swine flu pandemic in 2009. More recently, it was discovered severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) came from bats, via civets, while bats also gave us Ebola.
Humans have always caught diseases from animals. In fact, most new infectious diseases come from wildlife.

Assisted dying: Campaigners renewed hope for change in the law
David Peace has motor neurone disease, a terminal illness which gradually affects the brain and nerves.
David, who lives in central London, is one of a number of people behind renewed calls to update England and Wales assisted dying laws to allow terminally ill people, with six months to live, the right to end their life, subject to strict criteria.
A second reading of the assisted dying bill is due to take place in the House of Lords this autumn.

Revealed: the industry figures behind ‘declaration of scientists’ backing meat eating
The “Dublin Declaration of Scientists on the Societal Role of Livestock” says livestock “are too precious to society to become the victim of simplification, reductionism or zealotry” and calls for a “balanced view of the future of animal agriculture”. One of the authors of the declaration is an economist who called veganism an “eating disorder requiring psychological treatment”.

More Patients Are Losing Their Doctors — And Trust
Fred used to go to a community health center in Rhode Island, but then accessing care there began to frustrate her.
She described making repeated phone calls for a same-day appointment, only to be told that none were available and that she should try again tomorrow. After one visit, she said, one of her prescriptions never made it to the pharmacy.
And there was another time when she waited 40 minutes in the exam room to consult with a physician assistant — who then said she couldn’t give her a cortisone shot for her knee, as her doctor used to do.
Fred said that she won’t be going back.

Deadly fungal infection spreading at an alarming rate
The fungus, a type of yeast called Candida auris, or C. auris, can cause severe illness in people with weakened immune systems. The number of people diagnosed with infections — as well as the number of those who were found through screening to be carrying C. auris — has been rising at an alarming rate since it was first reported in the U.S., researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Monday.

Son who went to Switzerland with mum so she could die by euthanasia explains how process works
He said: "The law is causing suffering, it is causing people to die in the most painful way and it's got to stop.
"I think we need a model that supports terminally ill people in a safe way like Switzerland have with the independent doctor visits, the need for paperwork.
"It’s a very lonely, scary process and I had to come back to the UK thinking ‘am I about to be arrested’.

Woke Dems have lied about transgender suicide
The Oklahoma medical examiner who ruled Benedict’s overdose death a suicide said the 16-year-old “did not die as a result of trauma” from the fight at school, and handwritten notes at the scene did not make reference to difficulties at school.
Nonbinary student Nex Benedict died by suicide, ODing after beating inside Oklahoma high school bathroom: official
Benedict suffered from “bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, self-harm (cutting), chronic tobacco abuse and chronic marijuana abuse.”
No wonder.
Her short, sad life had been marred by an evil far more real than the politicized victimhood of cynical activists.

Florida nursing schools are caught selling 7,600 fake diplomas
Three South Florida nursing schools have been caught selling thousands of fake diplomas in a massive scheme that allowed students to bypass licensing training.
Siena College, the Palm Beach School of Nursing, and Sacred Heart International Institute have lost their accreditation as nursing schools after federal authorities found that they issued more than 7,600 fake and unearned diplomas.
Students were then able to use those bogus diplomas to take the national nursing licensing exam, and land jobs as registered nurses, practical nurses, and vocational nurses in assisted living facilities and Veteran Affairs hospitals throughout the country.

Your Pet’s Waste May Be Trashing the Environment
Dog and cat waste may seem harmless, but the reality is that your pet’s poop can be very problematic for ecosystems where it accumulates. Think of an ecosystem as a closed box. Within that closed box is everything that makes up an ecosystem: the dirt, the bugs, the animals, the plants, the microbes, and all the different chemicals necessary for the functioning of each of the organisms that call this “box” home. Some organisms prefer some chemicals in abundance; others do not. As such, a homeostasis of sorts develops over time that eventually balances the populations of each organism in the box.

Trans campaign 'is sabotaging bid to help women
A flagship scheme to promote women in academia has been destroyed by the trans lobby, feminist professors said last night.
The Athena Swan charter was set up in 2005 to help universities address gender equality issues such as the pay gap and barriers to women's careers.
It is used across the world to advance the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine.

A quarter of youngsters being treated at transgender clinics may just be autistic
Up to a quarter of youngsters treated in transgender clinics may simply be autistic, according to new research.
Those attending gender identity clinics are many times more likely to show signs of autism than the population at large, doctors found.
Last night, critics said the figures called into serious question the practice of 'affirming' a young person's chosen gender and putting them forward for potentially irreversible medical treatment without a thorough examination of their psychiatric condition.
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely than others to become fixated on an idea – be it true or false – which they can then find almost impossible to drop, warned Stephanie Arie-Davies, founder of the campaign group Transgender Trends.
