Kung Flu

They already had a case of a dog in China testing "weakly positive" way back when. The dog even died--but it was also 17 years old and stressed because its elderly owner had passed away, so no one looked much further into it. The last time an animal was really implicated in spreading a virus, the Chinese government seized and slaughtered some 20 million chickens, so I get the impression they're just trying to keep animal transmission, to the extent that it exists, on a low profile. Won't do any good to traumatize an already devastated population by murdering their pets, nor would it help for those who are less attached to become afraid and suddenly start dumping their pets on the streets en masse.

You know what happens now, yeah?

We kill all dogs & cats, replace them with apes who revolt and put us in cages.

Not just dogs and cats, all pets except Bob Guccione's.
