A never-ending assembly line continuously at work, powered by evolution.
The corona virus was in bats for 50 years before it got transmitted to people, probably via pangoline trade. The bigger jungles are, the less likely it is that viruses get out to infect people. Because of population explosion + jungle foraging, viruses will come more often.
Climate change is definitely speeding this up.
