    capitalist handling of this virus is going to lead to me needing to wear a mask around the fucking rabbits in the back yard

      I feel like common backyard wildlife is per definition not so great at distancing from humans

    Currently there’s no indications that small life like rodents and cats/dogs will be able to infect humans.

    That is still shitty that human malignance is infecting wildlife
