A bit tangential but I read a book called Dead Epidemiologists which outlined out how the modern industrial process of animal rearing is a major driver in allowing the evolution of new varieties of pathogens. In industrial farms you have animals in extremely close proximity to each other which gives plenty of leeway for pathogens to spread and mutate.
Oh yeah, I’ve read about this as well. It’s both the problem of animals being kept in horrific conditions, then being fed large amounts of antibiotics to mitigate the disease. The runoff from the farms is also contributing to this. You end up with animal waste full of antibiotics and bacteria that evolves in that waste to be immune to antibiotics. Factory animal farming is sort of like having bioweapon labs all over the place.
