My question is did we learn anything at all from COVID? Have we learned how and when to quarantine, travel restrictions, what should people do to prepare, what supplies should we have now?

I learned to invest in Amazon and Home Depot next time

[@dsiepiela6449]

I miss lockdowns. Was so quiet and peaceful. Remember when all the animals came out and reclaimed their homes finally? I'm not saying I want another virus. All I'm saying is I miss the soft side the pandemic- no traffic, no annoying humans ruining my peace in the forest, no litter for me to clean up. It was a beautiful time in my life so I wouldn't be super bummed to have another. ❤️

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in thinking 60 Minutes Australia is a far cry from its US namesake. The Australian program is 90% sensationalism, 10% substance. Even the hosts seem self-important and smug. CBS should not allow them to use the 60 Minutes logo, name and likeness if the quality doesn't match that of the original program.

Aren't most Ebola outbreaks traceable to primates? The discussion of bats, leads to the question of whether it would be efficacious to eliminate the bat populations near human habitations? There certainly are enough of most types of monkey in the world. Is culling called for? And why would you go out to the endangered Silverback gorillas? They're so difficult to find and get to that it's absurd to think that they could be a problem. This report doesn't make sense.

[@thedigitalodometer945]

Well, the video also shows baboons comfortable enough to enter a human hospital. As for a culling of the bats, I don’t know, I personally favor prohibiting the expansion of towns to the point of encroaching the forests/jungles that the bats call home. Like the Ugandan gentleman said, we want a barrier to exist between humans and bats to limit spillover as best we can.
