I'm in no panic ---I'm not thinking about dying or anything ---but I don't believe quarantining humans is necessarily the answer ---it might be a futile waste of time. Sometimes a virus that isn't too deadly in it's natural host --like a bird ---becomes deadly if it jumps species. I'm not even going to kill my birds much less my cat.

The vets' logic is: if those coronavirus existed in cats are that deadly and contagious as the strain that we are witnessing now, the virus would have wiped out all cats years ago. So, don't worry, my friend. I'm animal lover too.

However, you do have a point. The Hong Kong Health Dept found out that mouses and cockroaches in Amoy Garden (HK's SARS epic center) did contain that virus. May be they just got contaminated from human waste/discharge but they themselves are not the host.
