She did good [2021-04-18 14:54:15] [Kristian Andersen] Agreed - good one. And such a simple theory... [2021-04-18 14:58:12] [Eddie Holmes] Who would have thought it? [2021-04-18 14:59:45] [Kristian Andersen] [thread - ID: 2021-04-18 14:59:45] :man-shrugging: [2021-04-18 17:30:08] [Eddie Holmes] https://twitter.com/georgiaaquarium/status/1383814554581307394?s=12 [2021-04-18 17:39:55] [Robert Garry] Wow! Otters - asian otters no less - more evidence that SC2 is perfectly adapted for humans - oh wait - otters - maybe not. [2021-04-18 17:44:32] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2021-04-18 14:59:45] @Kristian Andersen Sensational @Eddie Holmes just what was needed - Thank you! [2021-04-18 17:45:21] [Eddie Holmes] [thread - ID: 2021-04-18 14:59:45] Back to tile one [2021-04-18 17:46:38] [Kristian Andersen] Otters.... The host range of this thing - just nuts. [2021-04-18 17:50:13] [Eddie Holmes] It is! It's a total generalist. [2021-04-18 18:56:33] [Kristian Andersen] Is there any other virus / pathogen like it? I can't really think of another virus with this broad a host range, but I might well be wrong. [2021-04-18 21:16:48] [Eddie Holmes] [thread - ID: 2021-04-18 21:16:48] I can't quite think of one: canine parvovirus infects many carnivores, and RABV infects bats and carnivores, but they are still not quite as broad as SC2.
