Why *wouldn't* this be transmissible from dogs back to humans? I don't see any sort of barrier other than maybe low viral load. But even if the viral load is low, I don't see how that would totally eliminate the risk of transmission.

:shrug: the article says that when this happened with SARS 1 that they won't transmit it back to people

but really nobody knows yet. it's almost certainly nothing to worry about in particular above and beyond any normal precautions you're taking like washing hands

seems that HK just went above and beyond - they were notified that a family of hospitalized people had a dog so rather than putting it in a shelter they took it to a special dog quarantine and tested it

probably because it was known that in SARS, there was some human-animal transmission so they may have been curious

but again the dog itself doesn't show any symptoms so i would just avoid having your dog lick the inside of your mouth for a little while maybe if you're concerned

Stay tuned for an effort post on why this is a conspiracy (I may make a thread actually)

Laugh if you will! The spread is intentional. “They” want people in North America to become infected and die. Every policy for dealing with this in either Canada or us is focused on minimizing awareness and preparedness when available healthcare has already all but collapsed. The worst is yet to come and it’s being done by design.

This goes back to the “who’s killing the worlds microbiologists?” list: it’s full of unusual deaths for people with very specific expertise on fighting disease throughout the 90s and 2000s. It’s stuff like “the professor was found naked, beaten, bloody, and crammed under a chair. His death was ruled a suicide”

These are the people who could have helped us, and they were killed intentionally.


Whoever simply said “nope” to my speculation re: this pandemic being related to last years break-in at Canada’s national microbiology laboratory: well good I’m glad we got that all cleared up

This is all being done by design. The system is being allowed to fail on purpose. Get ready for martial law and bans on any public gatherings of any size
