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

That’s good for another 3 percent decline in stocks.

LOL— The dog probably licked its owner’s virus contaminated face.

Is “weakly positive” like “kinda pregnant”?

“Hong Kong scientists aren’t sure if the dog is actually infected or if it picked up the virus from a contaminated surface”

but that’s good enough for CNBC to add this to their repertoire of “let’s panic america” publications ... with a fake headline that leaves out the word “weakly” ...

Just great, the dogs will probably strip the shelves at the local Petco soon.

It could also be a false positive. The CDC and WHO had to release these test kits very quickly. They have not (to my knowledge) released the statistical process control data on this test. In this case, a false positive will give the patient a scare but monitoring the health will show there is no problem.

Many tests are like this. My youngest granddaughter tested positive for lead exposure in military housing last fall. The good news was that the more expensive, longer, and more reliable test was negative. Sadly, 18 children in military housing on that base tested positive for lead in the more reliable test. The biostatistics folks who monitor these tests work to quantify the problems and improve the test.
