Multiple lions at Salt Lake City zoo test positive for Covid

Quick, somebody put masks on them lions!

Four of the zoo's five lions were tested after showing symptoms of sneezing and coughing.

The tests came back positive, although officials say they do not know how the lions contracted the virus.

We remain hopeful the infection will resolve and they will recover naturally on their ownhttps://www.fox13now.com/news/local-...e-for-covid-19

Who will put the masks on them?

This is an important example of why we will never beat COVID and never go 'back to normal'. For those that aren't aware, this is the ANIMAL RESERVOIR. COVID lives in animals, wild and captive, and will continue to mutate. Predator animals will contract it from the prey meat they eat. The virus will live for days in the game.

At the moment a hiker steps on some fresh mountain lion pool, wipes it on their hand and then sneezes into that hand, they'll pick up the new 'variant'. The spike protein in their vaccine will have no idea how to deal with this new presentation of the virus. The minute a hunter mishandles the game, he'll be at risk.

Were they "fully vaccinated?"

Were they "fully vaccinated?"

Does the zoo have a mandate?

This. No virus has ever been eradicated when there are other reservoirs available.

Hmm, don't give the animals the experimental shot, but keep pushing it on humans.
The dripping irony is quite telling.

Will the useless COVID vax now become a scheduled (required) puppy vax now?
