Deer COVID...Whut??

[dannoboone]

True to form, a local liberal news station last night had a
scare story about deer getting infected with the WuhanFlu,
warning hunters to use masks and gloves while cleaning their
deer. They said it is wide spread. Has anyone else heard
such a story? Anyone know of a die-off because of it? I
live here in Iowa and have otherwise heard nothing about
it.

If anyone has a subscription to the rag, it was originally
reported in the NY Times:

The deer here in ohio social distance, very seldom coming within 6 foot of humans. Wearing masks on the other hand, not so much

I did see an article from the US Dept of Agriculture this summer that a number of Midwest deer for so affected. As I recall they did not seem harmed by it.
