Two hippopotamuses at a zoo in Belgium have tested positive for COVID-19.
Antwerp Zoo announced Friday that the country’s national veterinary lab confirmed two hippos contracted the disease and that the zoo would be closed until further notice, The Associated Press reported.
The infections appeared in a 14-year-old hippo named Imani and a 41-year-old hippo named Hermien.

Hippo with a head cold. Can’t be good. Hippos are ill tempered when they’re well.

I think hippopotamuses can cope with the flu. Hardly a national story. Now if the Mircats get Covid.....

Hippos? Inanimate objects have tested positive for covid, because those tests are a joke and taking one has the same odds as flipping a coin! And now Democrats are watching what is happening and licking their communist lips at the thought. I saw a video about how Australia has gone insane, and you can check it out at Whatfinger News in crawler link top of page. The alt-far-left are going to import these communist policies to the rest of the West if we fail to stand up against them. I’d heard they are injecting animals at various zoos with the ‘vaccine’ (that isn’t a real vaccine because those take 10 years to develop, not 9 months), and the term for that is animal abuse.
