Raja Clavata Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Not good. Imagine if the same thing were to happen with domestic cats, or worse still dogs. 5 hours ago, treetree said: Just when governments across Europe are wishing to apply further lockdowns, but the general populace are tiring of this nonsense, along comes .....

It already is in dogs and cats but they won't do anything about it because they are not part of a trade they wish to bring to an end.

Yes, but from my limited understanding the issue is when it comes back out mutated and zoonotic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHo states that the mink version of the virus... "Preliminary findings indicate that this particular mink-associated variant identified in both minks and the 12 human cases has moderately decreased sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies.", which is to be expected from any virus mutation as the human antibodies don't recognise it as being COVID19 and the mink cull is pre-cautionary in nature. Denmark Government is simply taking the oppertunity to get rid of mink farming and using COVID19 as a cover as there is no evidence that either mink or humans are being kiled or suffering significantly worse from the 'mutated' strain from the mink, rather than any other of the strains makng their way throught the human population.

Didn't see any reports anywhere at the time,,,, did anyone else ? I'm sure it would have been highlighted somewhere, seeing as it's quite an unusual phenomenon 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
