    Have read about both a dog and a cat, getting it and dying.

    I’ll bet they had their hands full trying to shove that swab up that tiger’s nose!
    That would have been fun to watch.

    This is getting stranger all the time. They told us it came from eating a bat, then said it can't jump species & don't dump your pets they can't get it. Now they ,"the experts" are saying it can jump species.
    Someone please make up my mind. This all sounds like more scare tactics to keep sheeple in line

    I really am confused.

    Does this mean I can keep my pet dog, but have to get rid of my pet tiger?  Now that I think about it;  I haven't seen my pet dog lately and my pet tiger didn't eat his supper last night.   Hmmmmmm . . . . .

    I FULLY agree. Get China the F' out of America. (If this does not do it, nothing will.)

    Pay a few more dollars for American made. We are going to need the Jobs, when this all said and done. (An understatement.)

    The Worlds Economy is going to take an absolute beating over this. Time China feels the hurting and pain they have caused millions of others.

    I agree just how does that work. Was this tiger a movie star or athlete or better yet was it a politician.

    If you are 6 ft. from the front end of a tiger virus is the least of your troubles.

    One of the few facts I know about viruses is that they can and do mutate rapidly. That's why the flu shot formula every year is an educated guess - and it's how we got COVID-19. So with such a wide pool of virus particles now, seeing some of them mutate into a version that can infect animals ought not be a surprise. If you believe that "bat" story, it learned to jump species once already, did it not?

    I read early on quite a while ago that there were a couple of dogs and a cat that also were infected with this virus.  Those stories came out of China IMMIC.    The mammals of the world are all in this together!  Us two legger's are supposed to have enough grey matter in between our ears to save all.
