    Half day today, full days from here on out.

    I'm nervy but trusting in the guidelines. If they fail, then I failed.

    I don't think first reported, maybe first confirmed.

    A couple of months ago, China reported a dog infection, and the WHO said it wasn't true. Because dumb. Since then, more dog infections have been seen.

    yeah they’ve been reports of infections of animals but first death I believe.

    Cats and rodents are also potential reservoirs, though I do not believe there have been any known deaths-- which doesn't mean much, especially with rodents.

    What this means is we can expect COVID-19 to become naturalized and for there to be periodic outbreaks/infections in the future, barring vaccination/immunity.

    Yeah it will have to just become another virus, which it should do over time

    I think there was a family in NC that we're infectious disease specialists that both were infected, and their dog died.

    But they couldn't confirm due to lack of testing.

    Now according to some vets I know, it is unlikely that dogs can transmit the virus to humans. Dogs get it from humans, but they may not be able to send it back. Not sure if that information has changed, or what it is based on, or how "absolute" that is. Maybe it is just a general, "it is a lot harder to get it from a dog."

    Sell it as soon as it is cleared for use. Two years down the road, could give everyone cancer, and smaller breasts.
