A Hong Kong study has confirmed the world’s first known instances of hamster-to-human transmission of the coronavirus, tying them to a cluster of Delta cases linked to local pet shops that sparked a controversial cull of thousands of the rodents. The study, which has not been peer-reviewed, and was run as a preprint by the medical journal The Lancet on Saturday, determined that there were two separate hamster-to-human transmissions involving the Delta variant, and that the pets had contracted Covid-19 before being imported into the city...

Delta? Are they pimpin’ that again?
Lemmiwinks!
Don’t believe any study that tries to put the Chicoms in the clear.
What they are trying to show is animal to human transmission of covid is possible

Director of Health of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government Ronald Lam told a press briefing on Sunday that over the past two weeks, 1,921 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been recorded.

Hammy The Hamster
Add hamsters to the list of aninals this bioengineered bug can infect. So far minks,white tail deer,dogs,cats,tigers,bears, and ferrets just to name the ones in the recent news. Name another virus that has the same proven ability to infect such a wide range of zoological hosts. It’s the ACE2 receptor targeting mechanism every warm blooded air breathing animal has ACE2 receptors so in theory every one of them can catch and harbor this bug.
They just make crap up here every day. It’s a non-stop onslaught of local “experts” spewing garbage.
Can’t wait to get out of here. Hong Kong is a true idiocracy with Peking puppets.

Maybe the bloggers you rely on are lying to you?
