Correct, Henry. The problem of South East Asia is because too many people live close to animals. This raises the probability of virus jumping from human to animals and back mutating to nasty strains in the process.

We are much healthier today because we have got far from nasty virus and bactera nad their vectors by getting rid of their habitats: draining swamps, and cutting forests. But don't tell this to environmentalists becauise they don;t like to hear that. As you see the species in danger of extinction are not only the cuddly animals environmentalists use to get money: koalas, pandas...

Think about this:

Lets say the Amazon -like Lhasa in Nigeria that causes the fever of the same name- holds a deadly virus lurking there. Only that this virus -which I call the AmazonX virus- if hitting would wreack havoc with mankind killing only 0 to 5 years old which would reduce human population to 500.000 in a few decades.

But the Amazon x virus, wold mutate and then would kill only the 15 years old and above up to 30.

Then it would mutate and would attack the 35 to 100 years old.

But envrionmentalists think only that it may harbor nice stuff, but out there there's a kind if X virus.
