Corona pandemic is causing havoc in the USA and rest of the world.
To stay safe and help protect others, it is utmost important to follow the
safety guidelines issued by the Center of Disease Control (CDC): https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/prevention.html
Understanding how this COVID-19 (disease caused by the new
corona virus) impact our body and cause the death of those who have weak immune
system or other pre-existing health conditions is important. An article “Corona
Virus: What It Does To The Body”: (https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51214864)
published recently by British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is very informative.
For those of us, who have pets or farm animals or both, the
news on the novel corona virus affecting the tiger in the Bronx Zoo is alarming
(https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/science/tiger-cats-coronavirus.html).
When animals are infected, there are two important aspects: 1) they may be sick
and show symptoms of the disease, which eventually affect the health and performance
of animals; 2) they may serve as the disease (corona virus) carrier and transmit
the virus to numerous other susceptible animals and humans. Therefore, developing
and implementing the biosafety protocol to our homes and farms has become more
important than ever before.
PREVENTION is the best strategy to stay safe and help
save others – both human and animals at this critical moment!
