Covid is rampant among deer, research shows

[teddy12b]

Apparently deer have covid now too and the story is starting to get covered. Why won't they just wear a mask and get the shot so we can flatten the curve in two weeks. Seriously though, I hope this doesn't lead towards some type of mass kill off of whitetail deer.

'Very unsettling': Scientists see troubling signs in humans spreading Covid to deer

The findings are a reminder that human health is intertwined with that of animals and that inattention to other species could prolong the pandemic.

The little buck I got this last season has been delicious so maybe covid adds some flavor?

I expect that this is just more panic. If this was really a thing (meaning they're dying left and right) we'd be finding dead deer everywhere "for no obvious reason."

I think the mystery bird illness was a bigger deal than this. This is just them trying to get clicks and generate more panic.

I blame the unvaccinated deer. We're all in this together. Think of deer old grandma.

Hmm, NBC news...

Makes you wonder who benefits financially from deer "having covid", huh?

Or, no more deer hunting, no need for evil hunting rifles.

Typical to try and ward the hunters off of self sufficiency. "Rely on us, we got you". Not buying this **** for one minute.

The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting.

Any and all death is now due to Covid.
What are you? A child hating science denier?

Covid is the only thing that stands in the way of immortality!

Several animals can pick up diseases from humans and vice versa. One in particular I remember is members of the weasel family are especially prone to certain versions of the flu.

my natural immunity comes from gutting and eating the deer. I'm good to go!!

"In a 2010 New York Times op-ed, Roger Cohen said of the "paltry harvest of captive minds" that "such minds resort to conspiracy theory because it is the ultimate refuge of the powerless. If you cannot change your own life, it must be that some greater force controls the world." "...human beings have three core needs -approval, security, and control - and when a human being's needs for approval and security are inadequate, control is their last resort."

Yep! Isn’t it amazing that humans and animals can even take the same medication, like ivermectin…. LOL

It was sarcasm

Bambi is bound to infect Thumper and the rest of the forest creatures this summer.

Hunting seasons are in the fall. What else happens next fall? Sounds like mail in balloting will be necessary.

Once I saw the source (nbc) I knew it was a lie!

But they would have us believe it does. The argument has been made before.
Hell we know better but that guy driving solo in his car with the windows up wearing a mask. He worries me.
