Breaking news comes againï¼I just read an article which is related to covid19: up to now, 6 countries include Demark, Italy, Netherland, Spain, Sweden and America have reported that they found the covid19 virus from minks farm, and at the same time，according to the test result，an unsettling news spread out：The virus changes when it meet minks, the sequences and parameters are different with previous, so all developing vaccines are failed for the new changes. I think it is quite frustrated for the scientists. In order to control the spread with the new virus, Denmark government killed more than 2,000 minks, and it is only the beginning as the rest of the countries are consider to follow. It is so sad for me while I am getting this information, and I think the nature is punishing us as they don’t care about the balance of the ecology. I hope that people can learn something important from this case and do not destroy the nature anymore.
