Two days after the Yellowstone National Park partially reopened following coronavirus restrictions, a woman was injured by a bison.

The victim had been following the wild animal too closely Wednesday afternoon, according to a statement from park spokeswoman Linda Veress.They said she was knocked to the ground and received attention from park medical staff but chose not to go to the hospital.

On May 12 -- while the park was still closed -- a different visitor entered the park illegally and fell into what Veress described as a"thermal feature" near Old Faithful, a famed park geyser. That visitor had to be taken by air ambulance to a burn center for treatment.

The woman obviously does not have a brain.

Prayers being sent.

Headline should have read: another person who underestimated a bison, got what they deserved.

Don’t worry. The bison is now being contact traced.

I think should be marked as a ChineseWuhanVirus victim

My God. We should close the park immediately. It is not safe. People must be protected from their own bad judgement at any cost. One tourist injury is too much, and, of course, this is Trump's fault. He pushed to reopen these very dangerous places. We should all shelter like Joe

Bison distancing was not followed

'news'

If Covid doesn’t thin the herd, the bison will

I bet it was Trumps fault

Blame Corna, right? Smh.

Think it was mad bc they opened the park? What a dumbass story!

Shit happens and I’m “sure” she bares no responsibility

Is going to label this as a COVID19 death?

The bison didn’t get the memo about social distancing.

I'm on team bison.

I’d mark it down as related to the whuflu

Lrts continue the lockdown then!

The bisons were having a great time w/o any Humans around 😐

Wonder if she's the sort to step into the crosswalk without looking both ways.

The animals have reclaimed their space. Change approved! 🙌✔️

Well. They were getting used to humans not being around to fuck up their habitat. Ya know, like it was meant to be. 😒 SorryNotSorryTouron

You’re not social distancing Bison 🤬🤬🤬

Was it M. Bison?

Clearly the Bison needs to be charged and put into rehab.

Another disadvantage of reopening too soon.

Obviously no one told the bison about social distancing! Hope it had a mask on....poor bison, I mean!

Watching a-holes at Yellowstone almost get mauled is better than actually watching the animals. I have seen people in that park literally chasing down a fox to get a picture. I don't feel sorry for those that get injured from getting too close to wildlife.

CNN:

Quite the pandemic

Nature always finds a way to make a point .

When Karen demands to speak to the manager but surprise bitch I am the manager

'A woman,' ................ you can just say her name we all know it....... Karen.

Did the Bison survive

What does THAT have to do with ANYTHING?!!! StupidNews!!!!

Should of worn a mask with a picture of a bison on it.

What was she wearing?

And?

I hope the bison is okay

She was injured by covid19 with the underlying condition of a bison.

Bison said nah get outta here with all dat..
