lions, tigers, leopards all have tested positive for COVID: What we know about the virus in animalsHow many animals died after getting COVID?
The amount of animals that have died after getting COVID-19 is not known, but there have been a few reports.
Last month, officials at the the Sioux Falls zoo said COVID-19 may have killed one of their rare snow leopards. A 13-year-old African lion with underlying health conditions at the Honolulu Zoo died last month after contracting the virus, Maui Now reported. And on Friday, officials at the Lincoln Children's Zoo reported multiple animals were infected with the deaths of three snow leopards from complications due to COVID-19.
Arce said animals who contract the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans have mild symptoms like sneezing, lethargy and stuffy nose. They usually recover quickly and can be treated with antibiotics and steroids like humans. He said most cases can be traced back to the animals' handler who most likely was in close proximity with the animals before testing positive for the virus. They have runny noses and recover fast but we don't know how many have died. Anyone see the buffoonery here.
As I noted several months ago, they were giving fucboi pzifer shots to animals in the San Diego Zoo. I have not heard of one death.
Making up animal mortality rates now?!
