Episode 173: Kindness Is Knowing About Infectious Diseases—Is Hantavirus or Ebola the Next Pandemic?

Dr. Dale Kalina Samji, a medical physician and infectious disease specialist, joins Anitha to answer questions about two very different viruses which have many folks wondering, COULD HANTAVIRUS  and/or EBOLA be the NEXT PANDEMIC?

Dr. Kalina Samji shares what the medical and scientific communities currently know about these viruses, such as how they spread and how they differ from COVID-19. Should we be concerned the FIFA World Cup is about to start and players from all over the world will be coming to North America?

Dr. Kalina Samji and Anitha also discuss the mistreatment and horrendous living conditions of non-human animals in captivity. Is this cruelty the reason diseases like bird-flu, swine flu, mad cow disease, SARS and Covid-19 spread from non-human animals to humans?

A must listen for anyone concerned about their health.

As a thank you to Dr. Kalina Samji for sharing his story, Anitha donated to OVC Pet Trust, Canada’s first charitable fund dedicated to improving and advancing companion animal health and well-being.
