Thanks Judy.
Ministers briefly considered ordering all domestic cats in Britain to be killed amid fears they could be spreading Covid, a former health minster has said.
He explained that evidence had surfaced around possible transmission so the scenario had to be “investigated and closed down”.
“What we shouldn’t forget is how little we understood about this disease,” Lord Bethell said.
“There was a moment we were very unclear about whether domestic pets could transmit the disease.
“In fact, there was an idea at one moment that we might have to ask the public to exterminate all the cats in Britain.”
He told Channel 4 News: “Can you imagine what would have happened if we had wanted to do that?”
“And yet, for a moment there was a bit of evidence around that so that had to be investigated and closed down.”

Hi Rusty!
How are you feeling?
Can you just imagine if during this crazy time they actually went in and snuffed out everyone’s cats and dogs??!!! That would kill people faster than the stupid virus.
He comes after my cat, I will him drop where he stands.
That is all.
