Three little "b": a bat bites a banana.

This is the beginning: a plain and ugly bat bites a banana to feed itself. Then it flies away until it reaches a pig farm to spend the day, sleeping its head downwards.

Cute little piglets are eating their dry food mixed with the excrements of the bat, yap, jaaakkkk, not yummy but who said this was a fairy tale.

So let's come back to the pink piglets that are sold to a famous restaurant where they are the specialty of the chef who runs the place.

We are now in the kitchen of the restaurant where the mentioned chef is staffing species inside the mouth of a piglet when he is told that a VIP patron is in the room. So he wipes his hands on a dishcloth tied to his apron and poses with the lady as he welcomes her.

The lady has a wonderful dinner and ends her evening gambling in a casino.

On the next day the lady flies back to the USA sick with flue.
She passes away four days later and that is another beginning: the beginning of a real nightmare for mankind.

One touch, one contact means suddenly transmission and thus infection and death.

You, as my readers, know about the three little "b" but the doctors, the scientists and the epidemiologists don't. They have no clues at all, they are facing an invisible enemy who kills people in the whole world and who spreads fast dangerously fast, and nobody is immune neither to fear nor to panic.

No protocol, no vaccines and the lethal virus spreads faster and faster and then a round-the-clock race to save lives begins as people struggle to survive.

All that illustrates how simple things can have dramatic and terrific consequences when it comes to face epidemics and pandemics.
Most of the time experts have no time to pull the correct thread as priorities have to be settled and, in such cases, priority is Life, but remember how important a simple and ugly bat biting a banana can be.
Just three little "b”...
