"Zero COVID" is DELUSIONAL!
It's pretty unclear to me, too. They are supposed to be shooting deer - not hugging them.
Absurd. Research indicates that the chances of Covid transmission from random contact outside is virtually zero.
"...as Dr. Muge Cevik, a virologist at the University of St. Andrews, said. In truth, the share of transmission that has occurred outdoors seems to be below 1 percent and may be below 0.1 percent, multiple epidemiologists told me. The rare outdoor transmission that has happened almost all seems to have involved crowded places or close conversation. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/11/briefing/outdoor-covid-transmission-cdc-number.html
A (Oct 29, 2020) Massachusetts report on clusters found that household transmission was at the center of the vast majority (almost 94 percent[83]
Thus the likely explanation for virus spreading from humans to deer is that this is due to hunters engaging in close conversation with deer, likely in crowded places. /sar
So we hunters need to stop getting within 6 feet of deer I guess. Oh and wear a n95 mask to ensure we don’t give it to the deer. For an aerosolized virus, one likely spread purposefully on the world, let it destroy every single vestige of freedom and sense of enjoyment.
