https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?singl....Thanks for this, interesting. I wonder how that interacts with the known reservoir effect in the wild bird population? I think it is fairly well established that influenzas circulate in the wild bird population. From that I have hypothesised a connection between flu seasonality in the UK and wild bird migration. I want to read more of Hope-Simpson at some point to see if there are testable hypotheses that could be checked vs wild reservoirs. His north and south movement could be linkable to bird migrations.
I imagine if we get through this pandemic with an economy, a nation state etc that there may be a fair amount of funding for investigations into the background of respiratory epidemics for some time to come. Mind you I should definitely not panic re the survival of national economies given that tax administration and property registers over here survived the Black Death in working order some few centuries back.
