Two dogs infected seem more all over places. If the corona virus are all same, I wonder if dogs infect people?

Can we call it doggy style?

Cats are REALLY good at this social distance stuff.
Dogs not so much.
Please, everyone, take good care of your pets. There is a very, very low chance of a pet infecting a human. I can see ignorant people turning their poor housecats out into the cold. We're more likely to infect them, than the other way around. We need accurate reporting, so that uninformed people don't abandon their pets.

Have you seen, ‘I am a legend’? Hmm?

No surprise! Canine covid comes with their territory. Like some of our biped species dogs don't get the science: social distancing is not something to sniff at.

Tell Mr. Abe the "Go Travel" plan may be not a good idea for now. as cats, dogs, rabbits and smart Japanese really don't to leave the safety of their homes.
So stop promoting this virus spreading travel of yours.
Goodlucktoyou
21million pets in japan, only 2 suspected infections. Dogs usually do social distancing via a lead.
lesson for us all.

Apparently dogs have their own corona virus, which does not make humans sick but might (perhaps) give us immunity to the Covid19.

Who is testing their pet for Covid 19? and why?

So I know several humans with fevers and coughs that couldn't get a test but dogs can?

Will they put masks on the dogs?

Objective, @10:21 above, two Covid patients entrusted their pets to this Anicom Holdings company for safe keeping while they were in hospital.
The company for some reason decided to check the dogs for the virus, possibly to cover their own backsides in case one of their entrusted pets should die in their care. (?) Kinda makes sense to me.

So, is this really SARS-CoV-2 or some other coronavirus that the testing has picked up?
Thanks for the link. Will check it out.

Has any tested mosquitos? they suck up blood from one host, and then go to the next host, they spread malaria so why not this C19 virus?
Halwick
Unfortunate.
So now we have to have pets tested? And make them wear muzzle masks, too?
What a world we live in nowadays.
Good question so I googled it. According to a Kansas State University study, the answer is no, Covid-19 cannot be transmitted to humans by mosquitos. (That's reassuring....if you accept the study's findings)
