World Health Organization officials said they’re investigating several cases where pets, and even a tiger, appear to have been infected with the coronavirus by their human caretakers.
“We’re aware of two dogs that have been infected in Hong Kong, a cat in Belgium and we’ve heard recently the reports of a tiger at the Bronx Zoo,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead on the outbreak, said during a press conference. “There are several groups that are conducting investigations in animals to really understand how pets are infected.”
One study conducted on cats in Wuhan found that the pets could be infected with the coronavirus, Kerkhove said. She added that world officials don’t believe the animals are playing a role in transmission to humans, although humans can infect animals.

One study this. Another study that. Now they can infect us. Or we can infect them. Or we can all infect each other. Everyone who can drool a sentence in front of a camera is suddenly an expert. It's spilling into my BS waders and getting my feet sloppy. We're getting played. And herded. I don't deny the urgency of the situation, but the instigators and purveyors of all of this should be sitting in stone cells with iron bars in the aftermath, never to be seen or heard from again.

Close the U.N./WHO down. The U.N./WHO and China are responsible for the pandemic.

Pet bats? Flying rats that have fleas and nip at everything. They’re fun at dusk with a 12 gauge, though.

Save the cats and dogs and protect the Chicoms, screw the rest of mankind!
If they read any of the descriptions of the disease from first survivors, they would have learned that one had a kitten who died in his apartment. Don't need a whole lot of investigation to learn how to read, and for this we pay them billions. I want to ride that gravy train.

And camels are nasty, biting buggers. Go ahead and try to swab the inside of one of their cheeks and see how many fingers you pull back.
