SALEM, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon mink farm has reported an outbreak of COVID-19 among animals and staff.

...The state has not said where the farm is located, how many animals the farm has, when the farmer reported the illnesses, or when the animals were tested.

According to the Statesman Journal reporting (which can't be linked here due to copyright stuff), mink farm outbreaks have also occurred in Michigan, Utah and Wisconsin.

Has anyone in MI, UT, or WI heard about mink farm outbreaks?

The state has not said where the farm is located, how many animals the farm has, when the farmer reported the illnesses, or when the animals were tested.

Other than that, they've been completely forthcoming.

So the minks have nasty chest colds? And were they wearing their maskie-waskies?

Sorry, I just couldn’t resist. :-)

Have YOU ever tried to make minks comply with mask orders?

***How about nutria outbreaks?***

Remember the 1950s when people were urged to raise Nutria in their garages?

[Larry Lucido]

I would have been four years old, max. But hey, Kramerica Industries could have started chicken farms in high rises with the right equipment and the right interns! Why not with nutria? Or nutreenos? Or Beefareenos?
