The coronavirus pandemic has only gotten worse in some countries, with increasing numbers of infection rates that continue to surge over time. We already have COVID-19 vaccines at the moment, but people are hoping that the said herd immunity can happen in the middle of this catastrophic event.

Nipah Virus Can Trigger the Next Pandemic
In a report by The Sun, experts have said that a rising number of cases of the Nipah virus disease might trigger another global outbreak, and they are calling it The Big One.
The Nipah virus was first discovered in 1999 in Malaysia, which comes from fruit bats and could be transferred from animals to humans, causing severe brain swelling, vomiting, seizures, to acute respiratory infection, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
