Six common wildlife species in Virginia have high rates of the virus that causes COVID-19 — a disease they likely caught from humans.
The virus has been found in deer mice, Virginia opossum, raccoons, groundhogs, Eastern cottontails and Eastern red bats, according to findings in Nature.
“I think the big take home message is the virus is pretty ubiquitous,” said Amanda Goldberg of the Virginia Tech Department of Biological Sciences.
That meant little danger to humans from wildlife, researchers found. There was no evidence of humans catching COVID-19 from wildlife.
The same was not true in reverse. Animals living in sites with high human traffic — like hiking trails — had three times the levels of COVID-19 markers in their blood as animals farther from people.

coronavirus . . . . the common cold.
They forgot to add that COVID is most often found in psycho-karen mask wearers who took every “vax” update.
It doesn’t need physical contact if it’s airborne.
They’re probably going to recycle this story when Thanksgiving comes around to say “See...SEE!!! The Pilgrims gave the Indians small pox on purpose...it’s a holiday of death, racism and tyranny”!!!!
coronavirus . . . . the common cold.

...Our findings demonstrate that while striped skunks and raccoons are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is unlikely that either species is likely to be a competent reservoir for SARS-CoV-2 in a natural setting...
SARS-COV-2 isn’t the only coronavirus, is it?
In humans or in animals.
i am more concerned about dihydrogen monoxide.
No, there’s a range of coronaviruses. And some animals are more susceptible than others to them. (I suspect a lot of the animals that ‘19’ has been found in haven’t exhibited symptoms - and neither have a lot of humans.)
What BS!
Hey, furries, leave the deer alone! [/Pink Floyd]
Outlaw hikers! Plus...they smell.
Musteloid animals seem especially susceptible to viruses seen in humans.
Shedding the C19 vaccine.
Other species most often, not humans.
They’re going around and jabbing squirrels ?
The government needs to mail election ballots to “wildlife“ or we’ve lost our democracy.
I’m not sure what you mean.
