Coronavirus: Bronx Zoo tiger tests positive for Covid-19

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo has tested positive for the new coronavirus, in what is believed to be the first known infection in an animal in the US or a tiger anywhere, federal officials and the zoo said on Sunday.

😮🥺😔

I think it will be very easy for me to socially distance myself from tigers. 🤔

Nooooooooooooo

Here we go now the animals 😭🙏🏽

Actually it’s good news. If they cope with the virus, big cats’ serum can be used as a source of antibodies for critical cases in people.

How about my fish Michael ? Will he be safe ?

BREAKING: Tiger 🐅 Turtles 🐢 shrimp 🍤 and any other animal, reptiles, crustaceans and insert any other plant, animal, that you believe these animals are being tested for other then Fear Bible USA Stopbeingsheep 💉🐑🦠💉🌎

This was also in MSNBC news articles

Its already known That Animals too have covid19 But they cant transfer it to Humans, are you this desperate for clicks ? Arent These Babys in the most terrible Situation already? 🤬

Some scumbag thrown something or its zoo staff which were reckless...

So sad for the tiger.

And why would we test a tiger unless it is for political reasons. This is proving out to be nothing but a political hoax against the American people.

Hierarchy of testing priority: Celebrities/Athletes Politicians Medical professionals/staff The middle class Exotic cats Poor people

Oh no joey exotic

AND

Okay. Imma have to figure out a way to block off animal stuff or leave twitter. This is not going well for abused big cats or peoples pets, when they dump them out of fear. But why on earth are tigers being tested, when the people in my community are not.

This is getting out of Hands now 😒

Zoonotic then.

So there are no tests available for human beings but we used one to test a tiger ? BilldeBlasio NYGovCuomo

I'd be checking to see who took the sample. Methinks it might be the zookeeper trying to put the blame on the animals.

Carol did it CarolDidIt

This is scary! What does this mean for pets in our homes?

You people are really 'unbiased'.

Wtf

Did he get it from Joe Exotic?
