In 2020, our lives changed forever. As we begin to take steps towards putting the tumultuous, exhausting, and difficult times behind us, we discuss the Covid-19 pandemic; how it started, how it affected millions of lives, our environment, and our society, and measures we can take to prevent another in the future. According to the CDC, scientists estimate that more than 6 out of every 10 known infectious diseases in people can be spread from animals, and 3 out of every 4 new or emerging infectious diseases in people come from animals. The prevalence of zoonotic diseases in humans is no accident — our actions as humans have a direct impact on our susceptibility to disease and chances of experiencing another pandemic. Join us as we reflect on the pandemic, and honor the lives of those who are not with us anymore and families that are forever changed.
