We are now Covid testing......wait for it.......DEER!

In PA, NY, Michigan, and Illinois over 480 deer were tested for Covid. Findings were that 40% tested positive for antibodies. This has me wondering a few things. Most importantly, how are deer catching it? These animals are timid around humans, no close contact (unless killed).

The family of “Coronaviridae” can be found in frogs, bats, mammals , and birds.

Deer apocalypse is coming

The doctor who pointed out you can't beat a changing virus with a vaccine when the virus can reside in animals....

That guy got banned and cancelled.

It’s going to be a way for them to shut down meat processing plants. Better learn to hunt for your own meat or raise and butcher your own meat and livestock.

I guess the real question I what antibodies were found in the deer and are these just antibodies from common coronavius' or are these specific toward the novel Cvirus.

This could be very scary. A huge potential danger that exists within the Deer population is Chronic Wasting Disease jumping species from Deer to Human. If that happens, it'll make Covid look like childs play. If Covid finds a way to mutate within Deer and somehow pick up CWD with it.... bad news.

Cold packed deer meat is dynamite & last for up to 5 years

Just make the deer population wear masks......problem solved.
