We have a biology problem. #COVID19 is widespread, can infect an unusually wide range of species (humans, bats, dogs, etc), has many viral cousins (SARS, MERS, etc), and can shuffle RNA when co-infecting a host. “Shuffled” COVID-19 could easily become very lethal.

OH! Do you know any case of dog to human transmission? Do you think infected mosquitoes can infect humans?

I haven’t heard of any, just that dogs can be carriers

If anyone can confirm or deny these reports please link me (and others) here! I think it's quite possible. We already know that it's jumped from bats to pangolins to humans. It's true that this is a very powerful virus. It's like a nasty pneumonic cold + HIV
