00:32
Or alternatively to be an emerging disease that the entire population is naive to, like covid.
00:38
So which of these is capable of causing a pandemic? well, if we have a look at e to start with, this is a fungal infection, and it comes from an environmental reservoir.

00:52
Similarly, if we look at sea, histoplasma, again, environmental reservoir.
00:57
Soil.

How to cause a pandemic? what about sinombre? well, this is a hanta virus.
