Does coronavirus affect chickens!?!?

A common ancestor is not the same thing as the same virus. All nucleotide-bearing entities have a common ancestor if you look back far enough!
I can only provide what the current information states about the novelty of this virus. It's not a matter of opinion or argument. It's just a fact. It's a novel virus with a very recent common ancestor. It's not something to agree or disagree on, it's just not the same as SARS. The very link you posted contains this information.

"However, virologists agree that neither the disease nor the host range can be used to reliably ascertain virus novelty (or identity), since few genome changes may attenuate a deadly virus or cause a host switch. Likewise, we know that RNA viruses persist as a swarm of co-evolving closely related entities (variants of a defined sequence, haplotypes), known as quasispecies. Their genome sequence is a consensus snapshot of a constantly evolving cooperative population in vivo and may vary within a single infected person and over time in an outbreak"

Sorry would have made that a shorter link but the byc update hates my phone.

Edit: link was broken. Fixed. You can download the full pdf as well

All that supports the probable novelty. Closely related, but this one apparently behaves differently than previously reported ones. There's so much more to learn about it though.

And I encourage you and everyone to do so. I encourage everyone to seek truth and knowledge. I'm just sharing mine. Don't believe everything you read...including me. Do your own research. I'm merely trying to calm some concerns with the research I have done into the virus from multiple sources. Let's all make good decisions, wash our hands, and seek knowledge in the mass world of ignorance.

Did you mean earthquake?

Showing results for earthquake.

Yes. Thanks for correcting. I was too impatient to check the words (not a native speaker).

I understood what you meant.

I was not aware of that originally.
Neem me niet kwalijk

edit: it is easy to forget we have such a vast and wonderful community here. I try to be sensitive and understanding so I apologise if I came by as being rude. The above is an apology in dutch to @BDutch. My understanding is that it means "forgive me I was not evil in my intent".

I am glad you corrected my spelling. For me that’s a good way to learn to write better English. I didnt feel offended at all.
Thanks for the Dutch ‘verontschuldiging’. its always nice to meet people who are not too blunt /arrogant (?) to make apologies.

Avoid contact with animals if you have this covid-19 flew
I just read an article from a Dutch organisation for livestock keepers on contact with animals. Its the other way around. They say: “Avoid contact if you have this covid-19 flew’ .
I will translate it and share the article here.

It's important that we listen to the CDC and follow their lead. They know more about this than anyone, and they still have a lot to learn. Route and mode of infection, mortality, morbidity, etc. There are a lot of unknowns at the moment. An abundance of caution is the only prudent way to handle this at the moment.

ADVICE TO CORONA PATIENTS: CONTACT WITH ANIMALS
Various animal health organizations advise animal owners who are infected with the corona virus to avoid contact with their animals. The advice has been available since 9 March on the website of Wageningen University & Research (WUR). There are no indications that kept animals can be infected with the coronavirus, but to be sure, COVID-19 patients are advised to have someone else take care of (farm) pets, WUR tweets. The precautionary principle applies to food-producing animals until more is known about the risks.

For farmers with COVID-19 the advice is not to get into the barn, as can be read on the WUR website.

The information on the WUR website is taken from the Vetinfact newsletter for veterinary surgeons from Friday 6 March 2020. This is a publication of Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR), Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Utrecht University, GD, KNMvD, RIVM and NVWA.

"We want to conduct research into the impact of the corona virus on animals," says Prof. Wim van der Poel. Veterinarians who have suspicions because a dog or cat shows symptoms after contact with a patient with COVID-19 in home isolation must contact the NVWA. Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR) has a PCR test available for SARS-CoV2 (the type that is currently circulating) and can test suspect animals, but will only do so in risk situations and in consultation with NVWA.

Coronaviruses in dogs, cats, pigs and chickens
Coronaviruses occur in various animal species, for example canine coronavirus (CCV) in dogs, feline corona (FCV) in cats, porcine epidemic diarhea (PEDV) virus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) in pigs and infectious bronchitis virus (IBD) in chickens. However, these are types other than SARS-CoV-2, often animal-specific and not zoonotic.

This means that the disease cannot be transmitted to people.

In Hong Kong, a dog was tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 last month. The dog showed no clinical signs and was tested because the animal was admitted to a quarantine facility after the infected owner of the dog was admitted to the hospital. It is still unclear where the current corona virus comes from. From the outset of the epidemic, account is taken of transfer from bats and animals traded on Chinese markets. The pangs is also classified as '' suspect ''. The current corona virus can mutate to a more dangerous variant. Mutations can occur with viruses that have recently passed from animals to humans, according to the RIVM. Such a mutation can also take place after transfer from human to animal.

The official CDC guidance has said for healthcare workers to avoid farm animals for several weeks. I’ll see if I can find a copy of the hospital note my best friend received as a nurse anesthetist.

in HOUSTON they just today cancelled the rodeo because someone showed a goat and tested positive yesterday. They actually are from my neighborhood and use my feed store. :-/

wash your hands everyone.
