is making me feel ill

@freemo @design_RG I'd like to add, tigers are now coming down with COVID-19, so it is possible for a person to infect an animal or pet. Seems to me like it could certainly work the other way around. No proof it has, though.

@design_RG That is a very dishonest statement by Dr. Angel...

Yes its true we dont have any confirmed cases of animals infecting humans, but that is entirely because in virtually **all** cases where someone gets infected the original source is unknown. So that tells us nothing about how likely it is to spread from cat to human.

What we do know is we have dozens of cases of animals testing positive for COVID-19, while they are more weakly infected than humans it seems they do get infected and as such are very much capable of spreading the disease, at least in theory.

"Coronavirus: 'Pets no risk to owners' vets stress
By Victoria Gill Science correspondent, BBC News "

"Veterinary scientists have recommended cat owners keep their pets indoors to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus among animals.

But the British Veterinary Association stressed "owners should not worry" about risk of infection from pets.

"There isn't a single case of a pet dog or cat infecting a human with Covid-19," Dr Angel Almendros, from City University in Hong Kong, told BBC News.

Research has shown cats may be able to catch the virus from other cats. "

I really like this picture. It's like meant to illustrate evil bad people thinking about "the economy" instead of people.

So just think of "the economy" as all activity that delivers food, shelter, energy, medical equipment, means of communication, transportation, well, basically everything. Now I see. Yeah, no biggie.

Okay, here's a tough one for you guys: what's a better way to deal with the ?

@alex Losing my mind and trying to be indifferent? And also think it's overblown. But still taking precautions.

@shebang @dielan @Ricotta

P.S. I consider any Tusky fork in this poll. I'd pick whichever fork I like best. I like because it's actively maintained and supports IIRC. I like because instant notifications.

Two new pics for #Husky, one for network errors and another one for generic errors.
