I stated a legal fact, without any judgment. That this gets downvoted says very little about me. It says a lot about Hackernews.

Nut sure why this is also downvoted. Feel free to disagree. I have a PhD in a STEM field and live in China. I think my opinion has some value.

AFAIK most dogs can't get Corona (for now). Dogs that have tested positive for corona are rare. There is no report from Dog to human infection.
