How humans are making pandemics more likely

17th July 2020

This video from Vox discusses how humans are making pandemics more likely.

It explains how the number of diseases that originate from animals has been increasing, but in the last 100 years human expansion has meant that humans are more likely to make more contact with animals.

The video could be used for the Health unit (the role of medicine, the health professions and the globalised health industry), as well as demographics (migration).
