Title: Zoo says one of its tigers has tested positive for coronavirus
Post by: Mince on April 06, 2020, 08:55:12 AM: Zoo says one of its tigers has tested positive for coronavirus. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52177586)

So they're testing tigers but not pesky people.

In any case, it's probably a good idea to stay two metres away from tigers from now on.

I do have a GSD (albeit geriatric) to protect me from the smeezes.

Post by: Roger Kettle on April 15, 2020, 08:26:05 PM: My son works for a Norwegian company. He left Scotland in February to spend a year in their Bergen office. His girlfriend/partner gave up her job to be with him. The plan was to soak up Norwegian culture by exploring the country every weekend. Ho-hum.
Anyway, that's not the point. The point is that my wife and I were left with their cat and some of you may recall my opinion of cats. I don't want it tested for coronavirus, I want it tested for bloody annoyingness.

Now of course she can only pick kiwis, can't even visit the local beach. But thankfully she took a few months off and did all on her most wanted to do list, like penguins and Hobbiton.

I got your coat and donated it to the RSPCA.
