People think this is funny, but it's really not. If cats can get, and importantly, pass the virus on that's a really serious problem. It makes quarantining even more difficult. Basically the government would have to kill any cat found outdoors.https://twitter.com/natashaldaly/status/1246900371706036228 …

I’m skeptical on this. Istanbul is a hub with 15m-ish ppl, first announced case on 3/11, was slow to lock down. City is teeming with socialized stray cats, way more than any large city on earth. If cats could transmit, you’d assume numbers there would be gigantic?
I have no idea, but my wife was saying the same thing about Italy ironically. That they have a ton of stray cats.

Obv not something you can have an official number on, but I’ve never seen a city with cat #’s like Istanbul. Makes me think it might not be a big worry.. but if it is, would be devastating for the city. There’s a good doc on it, tho not a fun watch if this turns out to be true.pic.twitter.com/e0bonFPIdE

Black Death, rats (fleas). Coronavirus, cats.
