Gotta love the graphical abstract!

Any fur farming around there?

This is not going well... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/10/decomposing-mink-in-denmark-may-have-contaminated-groundwa ter

The response to seeing 12 patients with 4 spike mutations perhaps was a bit rash...
-
And that is a pretty grim picture
-
Yeah, they really didn't handle that well... That said, the culling was absolutely the right thing to do IMO.
-
I do agree. But using the 'scary' spike mutation as a reason was not good.
-
But perhaps it was necessary to get it done politically
-
Yeah, that was really dumb. To be honest though - I think it was the only way they could get the politicians to wakeup, so they used it as an excuse.
-
Hah. There you go :wink:

I remember when the UK banned mink farming. There was generally widespread support for getting rid of it.
-
But just because it was a shit industry supplying posh people
-
Same in Denmark - that's the crazy part. All of a sudden people seem to have forgotten that the mink industry isculling millions of mink every year for fur coats... People are not logical.
-
I suspect this'll be the end of the industry in Denmark though - which is a good thing. The Netherlands already had those plans in place prior to COVID, so that made their culling decision a little easier.

Hopefully this will be used as a teaching moment - that SC2 is mostly a respiratory virus and that masks and socialdistancing are the best way to prevent spread. Handwashing sure, but fomites are a minor route. That out of mysystem, I completely support this: https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-disinfected-after-trump-exit-1553725
