Well, haven't seen this anywhere. There goes the theory that animals can't transmit it to humans. Looks like they can. Hmm...

There were some reports early on that this was happening in limited cases (some dogs and cats) but I don't think there were many resources dedicated into looking into that further.
There were cases of American zoo animals getting it, so it would logically follow that the transmission could go both ways.
That said, internet regulations require me to post this:
"Was it this mink? :P"

You know the old saying - infects like a mink.
(Or something like that)

We’re not into mink - much better ways to spend our money.

I see no evidence in the piece proving the china virus passed from the animals to a human, just an assumption.
Drs have said it does not happen.

I think my nephew’s guinea pig Steve gave it to me.

Youre confusing minx with minks.

I think the “mink” was Joy Behar, if “mink” is Dutch for Bitch.

This doesn’t surprise me.
It was said the chi-coms passed generations of the virus through ferrets to help disguise manipulation and to rapidly gain the ACE-2 affinity required to infect humans.
Both ferrets and mink are Mustelidae
