emilydingwrites, Again, something I should have shared earlier.
Here's a #longform story I wrote for South China Morning Post's April magazine about why we should all care more about the increased emergence of #zoonotic diseases: https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/long-reads/article/3217891/deadly-virus-malaysia-shows-how-next-covid-19-pandemic-could-be-just-around-corner
Since SCMP is paywalled though, you can read the story on my website: https://www.emilyding.me/nipah-and-zoonotic-disease
I found this story incredibly interesting to report and research and there will definitely be more riffing off it in a newsletter!
