Disease in New York

Hello world,
Bushmeat is a regular problem in New York, but recently, an uptick in simian foamy virus has indicated an increase in bushmeat smuggling. It comes from chimpanzees, great apes, and bats. Supposedly, their meat is a delicacy. It's also a comfort food for immigrants and their families. Officals are worried that the smuggling spike will cause an AIDs style epidemic, even though flovirus and flavivirus have not been found. I think that to eat this stuff is stupid, considering the health risks and the fact that it's illegal. I hope it doesn't turn into a epidemic.
