Interesting. In another story it was reported that cats and dogs couldn’t catch it.

From my reading of the story, it seems like the dog did not necessarily have the virus, but maybe the virus entered its nose by smelling a contaminated surface. If that is the case, a coffee table could have tested positive for the virus with showing any symptoms (yet).

““designated animal keeping” facility for quarantine and veterinary surveillance”

Where they will be marinated in a soothing schezuan bath before undergoing thermal treatment in a wok.

Is “weakly positive” like “kinda pregnant”?
