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.

Well that does it looks like we have to back to eating beaver.
I know how Iraqi sheep got the Covid. I wonder if a few drunk deer had their way with a few sheep.
This is how pandemics start.
Are they nose swabbing Bambi? Papaya and monk fruit have also been testing positive for COVID
The money would have been better spent on testing for prion disease, waisting syndrome, anthrax or something else that directly affects hunting white tails.
Maybe it’s just me...
5.56mm
standing still for a nose swab isn’t half as hard as getting them to show their vaccination cards.
Comedy gold.
Looking for Karen’s to help mask up the deer before the shot in November.
Oh Deer!
