The city of Los Angeles is taking the covid ridiculousness to the next level by offering residents covid tests for their pets and even random wildlife.
From August 20, according to an announcement from Los Angeles Public Health (LAPH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists are now funding covid swabs for pets and wildlife, including seals.
“This project will help us to learn more about Covid-19 from a One Health perspective, meaning that we can learn more about the significance of Covid-19 in human, animal, and environmental relationships,” LAPH said.
“Some of the funds will support local testing of animals for SARS-CoV-2. We will partner with and offer free testing to various animal care facilities and agencies throughout LA County. Our goal is to test many different species of animals including wildlife (deer, bats, raccoons), pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, pocket pets), marine mammals (seals), and more.”
Officials are encouraging residents to test their animals, despite the program being voluntary and testing isn’t just reserved for normal swabs – testing includes anal samples too.
To date, no animals have tested positive for covid and according to the LAPH, around 177 different animals from varying species, have been tested so far – including raccoons, skunks, seals, rats, dogs, cats and bats.
Despite the CDC stating on their own website that “there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to people,” they are sending taxpayer money to the program anyway.
The CDC also states on their own website that people who may be positive with covid should stay away from animals – from pets to livestock – and self-isolate.
“We don’t yet know all of the animals that can get infected,” the CDC also says, conflicting itself. “There is a possibility that the virus could infect animals, mutate, and a new strain could spread back to people and then among people (called spillback).”
“More studies and surveillance are needed to track variants and mutations and to understand how SARS-CoV-2 spreads between people and animals.”
According to the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienne, 717 “SARS-CoV-2 animal events” have been recorded worldwide since the beginning of the pandemic. The school defines the term as “when one single case or several epidemiologically related cases were identified by the presence of viral RNA (proof of infection) and / or antibodies (proof of exposure) in an animal.”
But let’s all remember that this is all taking place in California, and California wants covid to continue for as long as possible – how else will Gavin Newsome continue to “win” elections there – mail in ballots have become the bread and butter of the Democrat Party and if there is no more fear, there will be no more excuses to use shut methods.
Great, how to I explain to my dog that they are quarantined and to not around other dogs?
It only stands to reason. “Gain of Function” research, it was put into animals, then the “Gain of Function”experiments began, it spread to humans, stands to reason that it would have the ability to infect / reinfect animals.
Think about this scenario…….isn’t “MonkeyPox” now affecting animals too ?
This covid issue is going down just like Biden and his crooked buddies. If the covid was not as effective, because the majority of citizens that took the vaccine are getting the covid over and over after vaccines. Gates and Soros opened a test tube factory IN THE USA! I guess they need business. More tax dollars are wasted. What is the government doing with the test tubes, masks, jelly, and vaccines that are on recall? San Diego complained about the people that are in the hospitals were not vaccinated, but I did read that there are over 300 caravan people in the border hospitals. They are here illegally, fell off the fence, our tax dollars at work for Biden-Harris-Obama-Soros and Gates.
John,
It is obvious that if a papaya fruit can be infested with Covid then the virus can easily infect felines, canines, gerbils and all rodents, especially those of the democratic mindset. Perhaps we should investigate the stock holdings of politicians in corporations that produce testing kits, cotton swabs, facial masks or plastic vials for shipping these tests to laboratories.
The crazies r now coming out again to start testing animals for covid. This is all just fear so they can control all of us again. Please vote these nut jobs out of office. Enough is enough. I’m just sick of all these Dems and their lies. I will not get this crap put into me or my dog. They can all go to hell
I thought the tests weren’t proper. False positives and not accurate. So stop pushing this stuff. We don’t want it.
Gov’t. has an overabundance of their China covid tests they want to get rid of before they expire. ‘Heard they are handing them out to kids to use on their dollies too. All neg results so far.
