Test subjects because of hunting, and especially the popularity of deer hunting. If it’s “American,” consider it something the enemy wants to attack. My bible says if he come in one way, he has to flee in seven, so ‘chin up.’

No contingency plans? Are they kidding? I have cases of contingency plans in several different calibers. Zombie apocalypse, baby. Bring it on!

They’re probably spending millions with the Chinese to make it happen

Prion based diseases are 100% fatal.
Improper folding of proteins.
Crutzfeld-Jacob disease, etc.

But how do deer catch it? They don’t eat flesh, and no one is feeding them pellets made of other deer (as happened to cattle kept in feedlots.)

I’m sure the experts in Wuhan will get right on that.

Deer will eat birds and other small animals under certain conditions.

Coincidence that there is more than on billionaire developing humanoid robots and the AI to run them...it’s when not if the guards get replaced with AI robots then there is no need for plebs at all. Save some AI programmers, and some engineers,scientists and biologists. At some point AI might get creative enough to replace scientists and biologists too.

They’re working overtime to transfer it to humans I guess?

At this point I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

No more. I’ve had it.

Scientists are making the claim that the prion can persist in the environment, shed in urine or feces or from.the carcass of a deer, and then make it into the human food supply.

Very scary but I don’t trust scientists with scare stories. They still scare me though....

Too many deer and elk for the amount of territory and food supply. Nature is reducing the numbers. Consequences of banning hunting in many areas by wackos. Maybe there will be fewer deer hits which are a leading cause of traffic incidents.

The disease “might” jump to humans. This is called “science”. Heavy use of “maybe” is a mainstay of modern grant seeking, er I mean science.
