cool. I just have in the back of my mind China slaughtering 3/4 of their swine because of ‘swine fever’ but who knows if ‘fever’ was the real problem or this virus was (humans being sort of compatible with pigs and if pigs can catch the virus, maybe other livestock?).

I would think that if dogs were a serious vector, we would have some warning by now (maybe) or at least veterinarians would. I’m being extra careful around the pups with gloves, and they don’t interact with the livestock other than lay around and watch them. So I’ll be careful. I appreciate the warnings tho!

That’s an eyebrow raiser. Too much of that seems to happen there.
