San Diego Zoo races to vaccinate lions, tigers and other vulnerable species as COVID surges
Here's an interesting update in the local paper this week: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login This is interesting in a couple of different ways:1) COVID is a problem not just for humans, but animals as well. In Jan. SD Zoo & Safari Park had gorillas get COVID, now tigers & snow leopards are getting sick2) SD Zoo officials think they animals got infected by human employees who were asymptomatic, meaning humans can not only infect each other w/COVID but also animals 3) this feels kinda odd in a sense that we're racing to vaccinate zoo animals when there are so many countries still woefully unable to get vaccination for their human residents (I know we're talking about the US, as well as endangered species SD Zoo is trying to protect - still seems kinda odd, though)
I know someone that got a call to schedule his booster. Now it may be because he's a senior and/or because he's well known. Either way, very interesting.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
It does seem odd - and it's definitely still sort of a first-world privilege thing that we're able to vaccinate these animals - but the shots they're getting are totally separate (like, not even development/manufacturing overlap) from the human vaccines, so I'm glad we can do it.You are not allowed to view links.

It's definitely very cool that scientists are looking out for the animals too
I’m back to double-masking. I just got a supply of the white KN95 masks, as well as the blue hospital surgeons’ masks.
Yeah, the new statistics are disheartening.
Moderna got provisional approval in Australia. On Wall Street, their stock jumped 15%.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
And among 12-17 year olds in Switzerland. But considering that all covid vaccine stocks are up big today, I think the pop is more about Fauci talking boosters yesterday. Both Australia and Switzerland are tiny markets. If the US goes for a third dose, it's more than just the US market since much of the world will follow.
