Early pandemic news showed animals in zoos sick, testing positive for Covid, with many dying. Coverage then suddenly stopped. The sickness and deaths continue, yet Covid is never tested for or announced.
A 4 year old giraffe at Audubon Zoo was just humanely euthanized after an decline in his overall health, including a loss of appetite and lethargy. Cause is “unknown.”
Giraffes in captivity often live 28 - 35+ years.
We knew then. Noticing it now is apparently no longer allowed.

Oh wow ! This is another one! I didn’t see Birdie’s post. I retweeted Data Report’s case about the rhino and so this makes at least 3 incidents of zoo sickness in this covid wave !!

FYI--> Floridians the state government isn't monitoring for covid. Many people tell me there's something going around and a lot of people are sick. I'm one, what I thought was a cold or flu is covid. Had to go to E.R because after 10 days my cold was getting horribly worse, now its too late to take Paxlovid. Please take precautions and get to doc as soon as possible if you are sick.

Torture them with the cell right next to Brand.
I feel sick to my stomach even reading this: the NYT has the full group chat of the Cornell 7 Chi Phi brothers the night of the alleged rape, along with additional texts. These men belong in prison!

Mike Honey: "This scenario, with multiple variants growing in parallel, increases the risk of rapid reinfection and coinfection, especially among those relying on disease-acquired immunity. The Variant Hunters have already identified samples showing signs of those scenarios."
