Scientists are still concerned that this virus could mutate to become transferable between humans because then we would have a global pandemic on our hands.The last pandemic we had was in 1918 that started right here in the United States and is estimated to have killed 50 to 100 million people worldwide. It is said we have one about every 100 years. Are we due? Will our own environmental degradation actually bring it on? Scientists even stated that a virus could be what is causing bees to disappear as as well as birds. Just how much of an effect is our own behavior having on creating and mutating these viruses?
