Regarding close contacts .....meow

So a family member gets smitten with coronavirus and so obligated to isolate and self treat as best as can , along with close contacts , as a precaution so as to protect the wider community 

Sound procedures and reasonable considering the often life threatening condition and lack of officially prescribed  self-treatments  prior to hospital 

But has something been overlooked  ? A potential spanner in the works of recovery , a furry spanner in this case ?

As seems now that the pet moggy can easily acquire and be a carrier and spreader of coronavirus 

Is referred as feline coronavirus when ordering test kits online but appears the same as what blights people 

 

This being the case if expedient to confront , might be an idea to make provision to include the family cat as a close contact and treat accordingly ( not thinking euthanise ) 

 

ps - if your cat has recently disappeared or dropped dead without obvious reason particularly of families blighted with clinically validated coronavirus .......

Where again have you been - the CDC issued info yonks ago.

 

The transmission is very low.

 

Just take good care of your kitty.

The real world : Many pet owners pay closer physical attention to their pet cat than fellow family members....

Pets ARE family

 

Pets cannot tell 'fellow family members' when something is wrong with them

 

Do you have a problem with that?

 

 

Real world, why wait almost a year to post the first link?

 

And then twist things down to your own level? 

 

 

 

Include sick puppies while you are at it

 

 

Meow indeed

What about birds, mice and insects. Can they catch it too?

Well - in that case the family members aren't going to catch it from the cat. 😀
