In Denmark, all the farmed minks in the country — some 17 million of them — have been destroyed after mutant coronavirus strains were detected in animals on many farms. The disease was able to spread and mutate quickly through the cramped cages housing the mink, and sometimes the animals passed the new strains to the humans who tended them.
SARS-CoV-1, which sprang out of a large, crowded “wet,” or live animal, market in Guangdong, China, in 2002, should have taught us something. Thought to have originated in bats, the SARS coronavirus possibly amplified in civet cats, an animal farmed for the luxury “wild meat” trade in China, before jumping into the human population.
That flu, H5N1, fizzled, probably because the receptors through which the virus entered human cells were located deep in the lungs, making human-to-human transmission almost impossible. But other, equally deadly avian flu viruses have evolved again and again on those giant poultry farms, and chickens in the millions have been slaughtered. Each time, a few people died too, but we learned nothing.
