Covid levels among Britain’s deer are being closely monitored after high levels were detected among US herds.
Scientists in the US are, allegedly, unearthing increasing evidence that the virus is able to spread and mutate freely among the species.

Although Covid cases have not been identified in European deer, experts agree that it wouldn’t be surprising if it did turn up given high rates among humans.
MSN reports: One study in Canada has even found what may be the first case of the virus jumping from a deer to a human.
Separate investigations have shown the virus is able to spread among white-tailed deers in the US, with up to 40% of animals tested in one such trial turning out to be positive.
Genomic sequencing has confirmed that, not only do new variants spread to the species as they explode in human populations, they continue to evolve among their new hosts.
According to a report in Nature, in 30 of the states where the animal has been tested for Covid-19, 24 have revealed some level of infection.
There’s no evidence Covid-19 is circulating in British deer but they are one of a number of species which are being monitored closely.
A task force set up last year by the Animal and Plant Health Agency is regularly checking for infections among several animal populations, including foxes, mink, badgers and bats, as well as deer.

This is getting ridiculous.
Why are deer being monitored for Covid? this is incredibly stupid.
I don’t believe the deer have Covid. And I don’t believe the bird flu is real. I think they are destroying our food supply on purpose in an attempt to starve us to death. Bedpan Biden has ordered the rail companies to stop shipping feed grain to the dairy farmers.
you would be correct.
Can’t have any food to hunt…
Science is pure evil. Has been from the start when it originated from witchcraft.
pharmakeia… its named in the bible, witchcraft and sorcery.
covid and mad cow has been seen in all warm blooded herds for many years
they found covid in about all life forms years ago and gave up testing bats in the USA due to the danger of interfaceing with them.Just as most all wildlife can carry viruses that humans can and do get,Cattle and horses even chickens do carry dangers to ranch hands just like chemicals carry dangers to farmers
They need to capture birds now and start testing them also, .then earthworms, crickets, mice, foxes, fish, whales.
Something tells me the whole world food supply will somehow become contaminated .
I don’t believe for a second that the deer in the US have covid. What I do believe is that this is just another attempt by the globalists to further destroy Americans ability to feed themselves. First they disrupt the supply chain with their unnecessary lockdowns. Then they create high inflation by not only destroying the supply chain, but also by spending us into oblivion. And to top it all off they get us involved in a war in a part of the world in which we have no business being there. It’s none of our business what goes on there. Our own gov’t just want to destroy the US and starve us all to death.
