If the animals had any respect for life they would've kept six feet apart from each other.

Looks like Ranney, Everest, and Makalu were all GOP Trumpers. Here in America we call those people "domestic terrorists".

Fact checkers claim that had they stuck to their curfew and wore a mask lives could have been saved.

I'm finding the stories of a wide range of animals being susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 worrisome, as it seems to indicate that even in optimistic scenarios there are going to be significant reservoirs of the virus and diverse variants in the wild, well, forever, periodically breaking out into the broader human population, often from some random initial animal vector.

We're never going to eradicate it at this point, it is going to remain endemic in perpetuity, as common as the flu but significantly deadlier.
