I’d be interested to know how they think the tiger caught the virus. Airborne droplets from zoo visitors? From the zookeepers? From virus particles on their food?

After all, who has “close contact” with a tiger? Don’t we usually keep a “social distance” from tigers? Or is the current estimate of appropriate social distance (3 to 6 feet) just bull?

Probably coughed on the food dish or food supplies.

“Our cats were infected by a person caring for them who was asymptomatically infected with the virus or before that person developed symptoms.”
