I’ve recently finished to read his book “Spillover”, Quammen is a genius, nobody listen to him before his speech, but today we have to learn about our mistakes and take care animals, us and earth, to no more live another pandemic like today
too bad so many are in denial of basic biology and the fact NO government can orchestrate mass mind in order to destroy all the tax payers - by vaccine
David's work as a writer has long presented information about the natural world in ways that my little brain has grown with each encounter. His voice is one that is rooted in curiosity and insight. What a gift in world of mindless talking heads.
As another especies on the planet we cannot be anthropocentric. We are going under sooner or later. We will reach critic mass soon. Sorry but true. How true.
When humans realize that we are all connected and not above other animals and have appreciation for nature rather than destroying it then we as humans can make better choices for ourselves and the other animals that we share this planet with.
Watched it. Shared it with my peers. COVID shouldn't have been a surprise at all. It was waiting around the corner of our events. We're exactly where we're supposed to be.
A exposição do Prof. David é excelente. Um acadêmico que fala para todos os públicos. Obrigado prof. David por nos ensinar coisas assim tão importantes sobre o surgimento, a evolução e a disseminação de vírus.
Corona is a problem, but for just one example H5N1 flu has tried to break out. It has averaged 34 per cent fatality rate. Conditions are favorable in Egypt and Asia. Human to human transmission has only been H1 H2 and H3. If H5 gets loose it will kill a lot more people than Corona
Probably never. I watched the other video of Bill Gates talking out "the next outbreak" and saw a bunch of conspiracy comments stating Bill is the one being responsible for trying to depopulate bla bla bla. Whereas, there are also tons of videos talking about the same topic warning us about the potential virus outbreak. That just implies stupidity is human nature that can not be changed. Even I don't understand why these videos about scientific facts/information like these have almost zero attention compared to the music video, show, entertaining stuff... bla bla. Oh well, I'm probably saying too much now, so I'd just shut up..
We need to leave animals alone. Let them live their own lives, without destroying their habitats, exploiting them, and breeding them. That's the only way we have a chance of surviving.
Everyone should read and listen to David Quammen. He explains why it's important we pay attention to zoonotic shared diseases. On this planet, we're all connected. We, humans, are animals, with the same biology as other mammals, a part of Nature. We share the same planet.
All of our present politicians should be required to watch this video, 'all three branches'. One can see the simple ignorance in too many of them, even at the state level.
Juni 2021: How does this have only 103,000 views ? - So we were shopping for trouble in the last 20 - 30 years, with international travel and logging trees, and ruining natural forests and habitats. And leaving developing countries alone. One reason why they log and eat bushmeat ? They would need some help to manage and set up forms of regenerative agriculture, and raise animals under hygienic conditions.Then humans could keep to their habitat and have fewer interactions with wildlife. Humans that feel economically and otherwise secure also do not have as many children (seems to be a survival of the species thing), and if regions develop it also becomes easier and affordable ! for women to get and use birth control. Speaking of which - he forgot to mention big ag and factory farming of animals, that is the next breeding ground of a virus causing a pandemic.
How it comes and how it will go.. it will always be mystery. Pandemics are like that only. Hopes and prayers for everyones good health and joyful existence. 🙏
What the “Spanish” Flu had, was a world at war, with Governments purposely ignoring the news about it. that allowed it to spread. They also didn’t have the types of PPE we have now, nor the communication network we have. Tho some nations are acting without intelligence(which nation would that be?), the proper protocols are out there, and the lockdowns are slowing the spread. So, we MIGHT not see the 30-50 million dead the SFlu gave us, if we’re lucky.
All these diseases were never there in humanity.but now they errupt we as human have destroyed forests made air water polluted destroyed many species of birds and animals this earth is for all living beings and not only for humans we have to learn to coexist and respect right of animals to survive to avoid future pandemic
And he had started his quest in the late 1990s. Humans (and the rich nationsleading the way) had been shopping for trouble the last 20 - 30 years. it was just a question of time - and all the wrning shots were ignored.
Big critters that you can see...how well he tells stories. There's a storytelling Virus...I tell you a story tonight, and you tell someone else tomorrow. This man is a literate storyteller, nothing else.
In his speech he never offers a solution to the problem of disruption of animal habitat. He never gets to the root cause of logging and building. As long as human population continues to increase their will continue to be an increased demand for building new housing. He doesn't make one single proposal for how to decrease human population or at least to stop the increase in human population. He doesn't make one proposal as to how to convince people to have less children. So the way I see it is that if we won't voluntarily limit our population growth than the viruses will do it.
Viruses and PlanDemic are one way of reducing populations of human. Let all creatures including viruses to leave. Humans need to stop distraction of the nature.
David Quammen states that the darkest of Darwinian truths is that "humans are animals. We humans are animals. We are part of nature." How is that the darkest of Darwinian truths? How can that be thought of as "dark"? That makes no sense...
Because humans tend to think that they are not subjected to the negative side of nature's rules and regulations. Such as a virus that would kill the majority of us with nothing we can actually do.
When are you going to learn and stop eating anything that moves? What is the WHO doing to curb peoples tongues? We have foxes and other wild life living in our cities but you don't see them being slaughtered for the plate. Gauranga, Gauranga, Gaurrrranga
Can please anybody stop with the word PROPHECY, please? is triggering me big time. Words are important. There is nothing prophetic about this speech. Science and studies are the words you may use instead.
I get you, but like the Oracle of Delphi, scientists were telling us what was, and is, happening. They told to be prepared, warned us, but as the Delphic seer was ignored, sadly, so were the scientists. Why? ‘Twas inconvenient for their profits...
When we destroy the animals and their habitat, we give their diseases a choice, adapt or die. Those diseases are much more adaptable than we are. We are destroying more so those diseases are jumping more frequently
Ad far as I know humans have never created any virus from scratch. We may be able to modify them or put them in conditions conducive to mutation, but not create a new one
I’ve recently finished to read his book “Spillover”, Quammen is a genius, nobody listen to him before his speech, but today we have to learn about our mistakes and take care animals, us and earth, to no more live another pandemic like today
Absolutely!
Everyone in that audience is remembering his talk every day now . . .
Absolutely
0 virus
Millions are AWAKE

I'm reading Spillover right now. Damn this guy foresaw what was coming.
How we didnt listen to this guy?
Watching in self isolation. Boston/2020
Good luck from Florida
Excellent prophetic talk! Explains a lot about COVID.
Very attractive presentation of Viruses.
Unfortunately it is closely relates to our current situation of global quarantine.
Thank you TEDx.
Watching this and thinking > WHEN ARE WE GONNA LEARN ❓
We won't learn. We will keep doing what we are doing till collapse stops us
We never learn!
Probably never. I watched the other video of Bill Gates talking out "the next outbreak" and saw a bunch of conspiracy comments stating Bill is the one being responsible for trying to depopulate bla bla bla.

Looks like South Korea and New Zealand learned.
Mitchel Evans , Oh? These countries went plant based yet?
At this time we need small videos with information such as this packed in so that people would care to watch.
Long stories turn off people.
We need to leave animals alone. Let them live their own lives, without destroying their habitats, exploiting them, and breeding them. That's the only way we have a chance of surviving.

Happiest Vegan on Earth but animals are soooo tasty!
Not sure why this popped up on my feed🤔 but I'll watch
Awesome talk thanks David :)
Just read "Spillover". Amazing prescience and well written.

Fighting against the virus from Africa, wishing you all health.
Hope you stay healthy and safe too!!
He came from China, stop spreading false information
Hi from san Jose CA ❤️
I remember one of his sentences: "If you shake a tree, something will fall out".
He talk 6 years ago, but actually happen this year

"We are all in this together"
No, we are not. European diseases with European practices..
Today is a must view
Watching this from India during the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic in 2021. A carnage happening in the country right now. (5/15/2021)
I am buying all his books about viruses 👍
Watching this for extra credit for college BIO during lockdown lol

Spanish Flu: I’m the greatest pandemic since The bubonic plague.
Corona Virus: Hold my beer.
Spanish flu was still worse....let's first see how this goes...since heh...we are not near the end of this.
Spanish flu was cause by radiation.
No, Don, it was caused by my mom.

Hi from Italy ....
Hello from a New Yorker in North Carolina, U.S.!
Que guapa!
Read his book Spillover. So good.
Fascinating subject, so I was disappointed at how thin his talk was on information.
Read Spillover it's 520 pages. It gives a lot more info
Man. If we had watched this like 5 years ago

No animals no diseases? Hmmm
When we destroy the animals and their habitat, we give their diseases a choice, adapt or die. Those diseases are much more adaptable than we are. We are destroying more so those diseases are jumping more frequently
If we destroy the whole natural world,we will get a flood of diseases jumping to us. Which will probably make us go extinct
