I happened to run across this:
2 Amur tigers test positive for COVID-19 at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium (ketv.com)
Here are some questions:
1. Has COVID mutated into a specific way that it's only impacting certain animals?
2. Are tigers at risk for a period of time? My fat kitty, I think, might've had the virus last year. Again, I am guessing but for the sake of argument let's say it was, she was over it pretty quickly. Is that the same for cats in zoos?
3. Is weight playing apart here? I love zoos and I respect all of the people who work there but is living in a zoo playing a part?
4. Are there any observations of wild tigers possibly having COVID in the wild?
5. Are these vaccines actually helping humans? Seriously? By rights, I want to say yes and I'm guessing all of the keepers are vaccinated but it seems to me that virus is still jumping. With that being said, what is the best thing to do here? Vaccinate the cat or not?
If anyone has any good input on this please feel free to share...
