The P&R Plague Thread (Covid-19)

I agree to a point...but why not dogs and domestic cats if you are going to waste precious test kits.

I don't know the answer to that.  But a tiger in the Bronx zoo under the care of professionals seems like a much better case study than "Fluffy".

Edit: The zoo knows exactly what the cat has eaten and when, who had access to the cat and when, they know it's entire medical history, etc.  The article I read says they are pretty sure of the exact zookeeper that gave it to the tiger.  These are pretty important things to know.

Exactly.  I also heard one report that this test is not the same test that is used on humans.  So, by testing the tiger, it did NOT eliminate a test for humans.

Trump Administration has the greatest tiger tests. You've never seen anything like it, they're unbelievable. China doesn't even have a tiger test. Sad.

At the beginning of this they were quarantining dogs and cats in china but research found they don't contract the virus. What this says about that I don't know

Saphier argued that “at some point, they will have to come off the ventilators.”

“And they’re either going to survive or they’re either going to die,”

Excellent thread:


Especially this graph (although it should say the more you go to the right, the more dire the official situation is):

"Acting" because Trump won't send his nefarious candidates through the congressional vetting process because they'd fail. So we end up with choads like this guy.

The Captain jumped on a grenade to save his crew.  And these losers are denouncing him.  Gross.

Of course he's now tested positive for Covid as well.

So relieved of command and contracted the illness, only to be smack talked after he's gone.

Funny how Trump demands unfailing loyalty but never returns the favor once one has exhausted their usefulness.

I'm sure this builds great moral within the ranks.
