WHITE-TAILED DEER ON LIST OF ANIMALS THAT CAN GET VIRUS



Vancouver Sun

The U.S. government said on Friday it had confirmed the world's first cases of COVID-19 in deer, expanding the list of animals known to have tested positive for the disease. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported infections of SARS-COV-2 in wild white-tailed deer in the state of Ohio, according to a statement. There were no reports of deer showing symptoms of infection, the USDA said. “We do not know how the deer were exposed to SARS-COV-2,” USDA spokeswoman Lyndsay Cole said. “It's possible they were exposed through people, the environment, other deer, or another animal species.” The USDA has previously reported COVID-19 in dogs, cats, tigers, lions, snow leopards, otters, gorillas and minks. Worldwide, most animal infections were reported in species that had close contact with a person with COVID-19. The USDA reported last month that white-tailed deer populations in Illinois, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania were exposed to SARSCOV-2, based on a study that analyzed serum samples from free-ranging deer for antibodies to the disease.

Coronavirus has been studied in wild life and bovines for decades, of course someone like the Vanc Sun makes the jump to a Covid connection

The study was testing for coronavirus antibodies, should be no surprise they found them.

SARS Cov 2 is more than 80% genetically similar to many other coronaviruses

Exactly. And if more people realized this, there would be way less paranoia over the shots. The base serum used in the covid shots has been around for decades. They have merely changed the target proteins.

That's one of the reasons the vaccine won't stamp the virus out - it has a huge reservoir of animals (including humans in poor countries) that it can survive in. (Yes, I'm aware that the tax makes survival of Covid more likely).

I’m ok with it as long as only vaccinated deer are crossing the border.

but ya, my dog had a coronavirus, not a big deal. Not all of them are zoonotic
