Deer has Covid

Deer supposedly has COVID now.

Maine biologists monitoring study that found Iowa deer got COVID from humans

Scientists are concerned about the possibility of the virus mutating within the deer population and creating a new strain that might be transmitted back to humans.

I’m going to do my part to stop the spread and will shoot any buck I see that doesn’t wear a mask or cannot produce a vaccine card.

It's going to be a bitch getting them all vaccinated. But once they are, I wonder if we will all become vaccinated by eating venison.

Welcome to months ago. LOL

Up to 40% of the herds are "infected." They back-checked 2019 deer samples - no infection. "Eradication" is not something that will happen with Covid.

I'm still dumbfounded by this. It's not a "hunter to a few deer" type thing that spreads. I can't see that much contact between teh herds to have it spread THAT quickly. 80% in Iowa? I think 40% is the # elsewhere, on average. ????

It's almost like the Chinese spread it via chemtrails or something. But the virus doesn't seem to impact the deer.

My bigger concern wouldn't be a deadlier strain jumping to humans. I'd be more worried about a deadlier strain that kills all the deer in a short period of time. That's a more likely occurrence.

The " Deadly Strain" that I worry about are the friggin Democrats. Jack.

Dupe:

The Deers got COVID... :(

Interesting read... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/coronavirus-antibodies-detected-us-wild-deer-180978366/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=socialmedia Queue the Governor advising that deer should mask up.

And again, we can blame it on me (and my doe encounter when I had the bug):

This sure seems like: "Hey, there are self sufficient people who are anti-social and spend all their time in the woods, how do we scare them into submission?"

"I've got it... tell them the DEER have covid!"
