"Some of the scariest viruses of the 20th/21st century emerged in large-scale farming operations (1918 influenza, SARS-CoV-1, most likely SARS-CoV-2). It seems like these farms are massive accidents waiting to happen."
What source says 1918 came from large scale farms?
Large scale farming in 1918 would not have existed as we think of it today, as average farm size was about 150 acres with approximately 6 million farms.
For reference, 2022 average farm size was 464 with approximately 1.89 million farms.

Is there data to support this statement? The video is mainly an opinion focused presentation, there was no research provided to support the statement above.
The Wikipedia OOP entry seems to have its "Criticism" section removed(?), but there has been a lot of anti-OOP sentiment (primarily in favor of functional programming), including here on HN. On example linked from Wikipedia: https://thenewstack.io/why-are-so-many-developers-hating-on-...
Arguments are like
"In OOP, every programming task is solved in a distributed system, adding a layer of complexity". So for the simplest of problems, avoid OOP patterns. Or, if having a complex problem, think about whether adding this layer helps or hinders.
And, perhaps the main subproblem arises about OOP [^1]:
state and identity get mixed up, if state is mutable. Then again, Scala seems to be fine with distributed systems, as many problems even add the actor pattern on top to handle messaging (perhaps not called messaging, that term might be more objective-C-ish) between entities.

"However, human trials are yet to be completed, which could take about five years. The tablet is awaiting approval from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and is expected to be available in the market by June-July."
???
Human trials have not been done. That makes this a non story story.
