I'm (genuinely--I don't know enough to pretend this is a knock-down argument) curious how this characterization of "crowd" illnesses fits with reports that Covid was extensively circulating in deer (not known for congregating in indoor spaces with poor ventilation). https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2023/08/29/latest-covid-twist-coronavirus-is-spreading-in-deer-study-finds-and-many-are-getting-it-from-humans/ https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2023/08/29/...
- yieldcrv 2y agoIf its surviving in deer longer than it would in a human, then all calculus about the virus is different either way. There wouldn't be a need to conform that data to this observation.
- Terretta 2y agoNo idea either — but humans tend to exchange less blood than deer (via thickets of ticks).
- tim333 2y agoNot a deer expert but they can probably spread it by licking stuff, drinking from the same puddle and the like.
