Study finds coronavirus in whitetail deer

Interesting!  I think I would be sure to have a mask along, as well as rubber gloves and some disinfectant.  If you have had the vaccine, it may not be too much of a problem.

There are many Corona Viruses out there besides Covid 19. Not sure if these tests can really tell one from another.


They found Corona infections in zoo big cats and there's a feline corona virus that can infect house cats. As much as cats sneeze it would be a disaster if that virus jumped species.

IF Covid 19 became chronic to rodents and could pass from them to humans we'd be in a world of hurt.

They've said that covid can be spread by flatulence, gives a new meaning to silent but deadly.

The shortage of TP early on in the pandemic was due to if there was a crowd of fifty people and one of them coughed the other forty nine would poop themselves.


Get the vaccine.
I had a bad reaction to the second dose that lasted quite awhile but got over it, it beats the alternative.

BTW
In Italy at one time the upper classes never left the house without an ornate mask hiding their features. Perhaps that will become a new custom. There have been a number of sci fi books and TV shows that had this sort of tradition as common place on various planets.

I'm thinking of getting one of the LED masks that you can program with any face you like and change faces in an instant.

If they lost their sense of smell it could be deadly.

Are you our Doctor, Glimlis?

Anyway, Covid is defiantly the worst thing that could ever happen to a deer. ::)  Never mind starvation, traffic, coyotes, and carrot colored bipeds.  They should defiantly stay home forever and wear triple masks; at least then we could find them before they smelled us.  ;D

Only if they get vaccinated first  :)
