(CNN) Covid-19 repeatedly spread between humans and deer, study shows, raising concerns about animal reservoirs

How can covid be transmitted from humans to deer and back?.
Well the researchers of the study do not know exactly the mechanism.
However.
1. Some of the study was on captive deer i.e. deer farms where humans would be in close proximity to deer since they are treated like livestock.
Transmission to wild deer could be from escapees or from " through the fence" transmission or from waste water.
2. Covid can survive in waste water and regular water for days. Deer can live in close proximity to humans and so a faulty sewage line that leaks into a stream could be a source for human to deer.
Conversely humans wading /swimming/fishing in a pond that deer frequent could be transmission.
3. Transmission could be from hunting as well. Cleaning a deer could result in blood..or feces or other fluids on the hands and then inadvertent transmission.
Consuming venison would not seem a way as venison is generally cooked and that would kill the virus.

What "dishonesty" are you imagining?

Is not COVID a medical condition?

Is not the transfer of COVID from animal to man a medical issue?

You seem to wish to be spoon fed information while rejecting information. It is a trend from what I see.

Asking for an explanation of the spread of Covid thru hunting, dressing, and consuming venison is not a medial recommendation by anyone's stretch of the imagination.

I've gotten zero information.

Why the dishonesty?

WTF are you babbling about?

You misidentify someone and now it is a citation issue?

You seem to be the citation police. Too bad it's not impartially directed.

This! That all makes sense. And it makes sense that a hunter could contract Covid from the deer thru hunting & dressing, but seems unlikely it would spread to deer from the hunter.

You needed that explained?

Nope. Still looking for an explanation of how hunting, dressing, and consuming venison affects the spread among deer.

You're not quite as good at the galactic spin as Galactc spin.

That's ironic coming from someone too lazy to educate himself, and projecting his failure onto someone else.

I see you are applying the 5 D's of dodgeball.

Yes, please don't listen to the zero assertions I've made in this thread. Galactic spin, indeed.

Right, you don't know enough about the topic to make any assertions. So you just troll. Your position is obvious either way.
 
Keep spinning

Looking at two deer in my back yard right now. Neither one is wearing a mask!

Was it a tax payer funded study? We are doing contact tracing with deer now?

Geezus! Better stay away, they're probably not vaxx'd either!

Keep knocking little balls into little holes with a stick. What a pointless exercise-rather like your presence here.

I also hunt and consume venison. All without a mask!!! Please make sure your pets have their boosters. Thank you.

Yes, apparently it jumped to us.

how odd it jumped at the very same location as a virology lab that dabbles in configuring viruses to do new things

but yeah, might have been natural and of all the places on earth it just HAPPENED to happen there
