Idk. The parent post shouldn't have been voted down imho. The problem is such a long time has elapsed everything is getting murky. Just to take one example: researchers are finding zoo animals in the US are testing positive for COVID: https://zooatlanta.org/update-on-zoo-atlanta-gorilla-population/ https://zooatlanta.org/update-on-zoo-atlanta-gorilla-populat... https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/bears-baboons-tigers-are-getting-covid-vaccines-at-zoos-across-the-us https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/bears-bab... https://nationalzoo.si.edu/news/update-covid-19-positive-great-cats-smithsonians-national-zoo https://nationalzoo.si.edu/news/update-covid-19-positive-gre...
