A look at the far-reaching, global impact of the Trump administration considering global leadership, alliances, the rise of autocracy, technocratic control, and potential environmental collapse. Taken together, these factors could create a triple crisis or a perfect storm for a dystopian future. Combatting this future is no longer an option but a critical necessity

American Veterans and their families — the Veterans Administration (VA) national system is under siege

IN A NUTSHELL
 Author's Note Building on  Survival: One Health, One Planet, One Future and subsequent publications (PEAH, Impakter), 
this article probes the far-reaching impact of the Trump administration considering global leadership,
 alliances, the rise of autocracy, technocratic control, and potential environmental collapse.
 
Taken together, these factors could create a triple crisis or a perfect storm for a dystopian future.
  Combatting this future is no longer an option but a critical necessity

Another potential unforced error: Eliminating or hollowing out the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy would prevent the U.S. from playing any meaningful role in a future pandemic

Advancing Health Care in Humans, Animals and the Environment

Veterinarians are well-versed in identifying and treating zoonotic diseases, but what about other aspects of One Health that can affect patient care? How can veterinary teams be better equipped to handle cases where family members’ challenges, like disability, mental health, safety, transportation, and others, complicate patient care?

“ … How can we avoid zoonotic viruses like the Nipah virus?

According to Anish, NiV is a model case study for a “one health” approach to combating high-threat pathogens. The one health approach recognises the fact that human health is interlinked with the health of animals and the environment.

“[One health] is a combination of three things – human health, animal health and environment health,” Anish said. “You have to tackle all these things to reduce the chances of zoonotic spillovers such as Nipah.”

Approximately 60 percent of emerging human pathogens are zoonoses, transmitted from animals to humans. Ecological disruption and the spread of human populations into wildlife habitats are primary causes for the emergence of these zoonotic viruses.

Climate change is another growing concern, with rising temperatures attributed to influencing infections, viral load and human-animal interactions.”
