Covid Deer??????

“There is not just human to deer transmission but also deer to deer transmission,” Kuchipudi said.

Educators say this new study that was conducted in Iowa found that more than 80% of the white-tailed deer had tested positive for the virus.

They say it’s possible, that as COVID circulates among wildlife, it could mutate, then infect people. However, unlike humans who can show various signs connected to the coronavirus, infected deer don’t show symptoms.

Then in a seven-week period from just before Thanksgiving until January 10, 82.5% of the deer tested positive, signs that it was spreading rapidly among white-tailed deer.

The research by Penn State and the Iowa DNR is still in peer review, but they write it’s the first to show evidence of widespread dissemination of COVID-19 in wildlife and that it shows that deer have the potential to be a "major reservoir host" for the virus.
