What is this mess. People working with mice get bitten all the times. And maybe it is in Taiwan, but someone getting Covid doesn't seem like a newsworthy event. The unusual part seems to be that one of the mouse was infected with Alpha, the other with Gamma, the scientist got Delta, which was the dominant strain at the time. And Omicron is the variant that is suspected to come from mice. Also, SARS-CoV-2 is a respiratory virus, bites are not supposed to be its primary way of transmission. Unless there is a mistake somewhere, I don't see how this can not be a coincidence.
