Hmmm… how do deer become infected in the first place? They must have had close contact with an infected individual and lived to tell about it ??? Something is wrong with this picture … I don’t buy this.

SO if a deer is infected, does cooking/smoking the meat kill the virus?

Can a human catch covid by ingestion of the meat?

Swear it must be Apr 1st....The nonsense rationale:

in a statement Wednesday, the environment department said “There has been no known transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from deer to humans at this time.”

It repeated Ottawa’s long-standing public health advice to Canadians to get fully vaccinated and recommended people also wear a well-fitting mask “when exposed to respiratory tissues and fluids from deer, practice good hand hygiene, and avoid splashing/spraying fluids from these tissues as much as possible.”

Weese, who has published a useful blogpost, says the risk to hunters “is a big question.” Hunters have potential for exposure to respiratory aerosols in wounded animals as well as close contact with carcasses, he says. Venison if properly cooked “presumably” does not pose a risk, and the risk from handling roadkill is minimized since dead deer don’t breathe, but people should still use precautions when handling a carcass or wounded deer, he said.

This will be a great example to show that deer will be able to live just fine even with this stupid virus.... these alarmists will regret trying to ramp up the fear about deer with covid - this will be a good case to show how awesome nature is and how deer will adapt and thrive! maybe humans can learn from it!

How might this effect butchers processing deer if it becomes wide spread through our deer heard?
