New data from the United States Department of Agriculture [USDA] suggests that white-tailed deer across certain U.S. states have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The news comes as scientists attempt to learn more about how the virus affects different species of mammals, in addition to humans.
The agency added in its report that while "antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were detected in 33 percent of the 481 samples collected from January 2020 through 2021," none of the deer showed any signs of illness associated with the virus or COVID-19. Additionally, they noted the study was only intended to "to determine exposure of deer to SARS-CoV-2 in their natural environment"—not to determine whether or not deer are "replicating and shedding SARS-CoV-2" within their own populations....

Of all diseases, prion diseases are the one’s that cause me the most concern.
I’ve spoken with researchers who work with them and they speak of them with the utmost respect.
I think that as of now, there’s nothing we can do about them.
They are essentially a 100% death sentence.
Smaller than 15nm...
Just reading a really interesting article:
“Alzheimer’s Disease is a ‘Double-Prion Disorder,’ Study Shows”
“The new evidence that active Aß and tau prions could be driving the disease – published May 1, 2019 in Science Translational Medicine —”

I’ll check it out. I was taking Biology at UF and our teacher was essentially scaring us about prion disease...
Thanks.
Sars-Covid the new climate change. I smell bullshit.
Anti-hunting, anti-gun propaganda from leftist Newsweak
the “environmentalists” have been trying to eliminate hunting for decades.
I guess i better put all my gear away and cower in fear..
Not to worry - they have HERD immunity !
...” none of the deer showed any signs of illness associated with the virus or COVID-19.”
Nothing is nothing. Is the mission to now find this nothingness everywhere? Wonder what the hell test they’re using? This crap is beyond belief. Next, it will be the ubiquitous fence post or some such nonsense.
I get the joke and see that Wikipedia calls deer “herd animals,” but where I live it looks like they travel in pairs or families or alone. Maybe that’s because people have crowded them out around here.
How do they get them to stand still for a nose swab? Bow hunter want to know.
Is it just me, or is every single News Misleadia source utterly insane, these days???

It just occurred to me, it may be part of the coming Commie orchestrated food shortage scheme. They want to try and scare survivalists from obtaining their beef/protein from wildlife.
60 Percent of Deer Tested in Michigan Have Been Exposed to SARS-CoV-2

Wait until the USDA starts testing squirrels. Natures cutest little super spreader.
This just in: the tree out in front of your house test positive for coated.
Film at 11.
And definitely quarantine. No more of these forest block parties. Self isolate.
“The obvious solution is to lock down all the deer.”
They already have the socially distance from humans thing down. So how did they get exposed? The same way as the kiwi fruit and the goat?
And make deer wear masks..
