Corona virus is a family of different virus strains. Animals can have Corona virus but not necessarily the same strain that causes Covid-19. The strain that causes Covid-19 is called. SARS-co2 according one expert intervied on CNN.

How do we know where the virus comes from? Is it possible that the owner got affected from the cat and not the other way around? And how much research was done on whether or not animals can transmit the virus to humans? If we are to survive this it'll be a miracle.

If this was supposed to be an April fools joke it was in poor taste. Remember, pets were thrown from balconies in China after rumours spread of pet to human transfers (which was untrue at time)

And they like rubbing themselves on people. 🤧

Go boima mose le diphohofolo. The world is coming to an end.
