Not my position but per some, feral-cat:marsupial :: COVID:human .

  Uh... ...pardon? We got Covid because of marsupials being predated by feral cats?
  • klyrs 6y ago
    No, the notation says that cats are to marsupials as covid is to humans. I think they're saying that cats are a plague on marsupials.

      Ah, gotcha. Well, yes, but no. It really depends on the marsupial. I've seen a brushtail possum dominate a dog. And I'd bet on a Tasmanian devil or a thylacine (RIP) or a Thylacoleo carnifex (also RIP) against a feral cat any day of the week.

        Cats are an evolutionary pressure on marsupials to make them "more fit" over generations and withstand future cats. Some want to let COVID run rampant so that likewise future human generations will be immune to it -- those people are fine with lots of grannies dying right now.

          Heck lots of 50-year-olds who run marathons.
