The real reason behind new viruses

Is malnutrition the source of every new virus that’s threatening our world?

People all over the world are eating creatures that should not be eaten by humans and as a result they are spreading infectious diseases across the globe.

The latest disease (Covid-19) is the first virus that’s easily passed from one person to the next, it has no favourites, it will attack the rich and poor alike, however, it does act like a predator in that it’s eliminating the weakest first, it’s targeting the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions.

The question that needs to be asked is: What happens if the virus mutates into a form that cannot be eradicated, a form that doesn’t target the weak but targets everybody with equal vigor?

Malnutrition can be eliminated and once it’s eliminated the threat of any new infectious diseases could be eliminated too.
