I found this article interesting it states

By the end of 2021, more than 300 animals representing 15 different species contracted COVID-19, including hyenas, lions, tigers, snow leopards, gorillas, otters and deer.

We're not inoculating the animals though. If the vaccine is so safe and the virus is so deadly why arent animals dying in mass like the people seem to be?

Thats amazing. You must be really good with animals for a deer to just let you pet it! The closest I ever got to one was in our backyard. It was watching the chickens and I was downwind of it. I approached it slowly but it got scared and fled when I got with 10 feet of it.

I love animals and respect them. I don't know why she decided to allow me to pet her.

I know the Chicago zoos have vaccinated apes and cats

Feral cats, maybe?

A year and a half ago, or a little more, I played with the idea of an actually effective lockdown. But it was already in feral cats then, so the idea would not have worked.

Wow I have one of those. She lives with my chickens.

I do not have any answers to any of the mess the world is dealing with. I wish I did.

It was reported that the pets and zoo animals did not die either except for one dog to my knowledge. When necropsy was done on the dog, it was found he had cancer, so immune function issue? I don't know.

The wild animals tested that I've read about were antibody tested. So they were exposed at some point but not actively infected. So maybe they are an asymptomatic reservoirs.

From what I read it appears all mamals can get it but not all can pass it to other species. I didn't see anything about non mamals getting it or having it.

How are you doing now?

I'm fine now thanks

Yes that's mostly what I've read. I have searched the internet regularly making sure of no reports in birds. I've seen nothing so far.

I did read an article where they were considering could it get into marine mammals, whales, dolphin, etc. So far they do not know.

Scientists are concerned about endangered wild gorillas because they are highly susceptible. Another concern is being in so many mammals it could cause more variants that could spill by to humans.

Sometimes I think wild animals would be better off if people left them alone.

I agree; how are you fairing after your 2nd jab? Forgive my rudeness. When someone asks how you are fairing you should respond in kind. The internet has made me forget my manners

Second one was way baderer than the first. I had fever, chills what was weird though is that I have a pretty good sleep habit but I was wide awake at about 1am. The same I would have been at 1pm. Finally fell asleep at about 8am slept for a few hours and woke up drenched in my own sweat. Layer in bed till the next morning and by the end of that day I was pretty much ok. The being wide awake was really weird. I go to bed around 8pm and wake up on my own at 4:30am every day. For as long as I can remember
