He explains what that money would go towards, what species are most at risk, and how the strain can move from low risk in humans to a higher one.  Follow The Briefing: TikTok: @thebriefingpodInstagram: @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @TheBriefingPodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
