ok guise
remember all the minks that were killed due to covid
well
I found this on a webpage for checking DNA (not cheap) (and what a racket this DNA shit creates all kinds of $$$ grift)
for your pet cat
to see what breed your cat may be
then it occurred to me eventually the fake news needs new scary things to hype and prop up covid scare
how long until the all the fake news
'takes this information regarding
feline corona virus
and panics the world over cats
OR
adds cats corona to total cases
(joking but not joking)
it is estimated 58,385,725 cats in the USA
so, i bet the scammers at the cdc and fake news outlets
are looking out for ways to get these feline numbers into the dialogue around covid panic
if they do it will cost a lot of cats to be killed by people who already hate cats
and then brainwashed who will fear cats as a new fear and harm everyday cats as well
hope i a m wrong

Abstract
36 The COVID-19 pandemic has presented multiple healthcare challenges, one of which is
37 adequately meeting the need for large-scale diagnostic testing. The most commonly used
38 assays for detection of SARS-CoV-2, including those recommended by the Center for Disease
39 Control and Prevention (CDC), rely on a consistent set of core reagents. This has put a serious
40 strain on the reagent supply chain, resulting in insufficient testing. '''It has also led to restricted
41 animal testing, even though there are now multiple reports of animals, particularly cats,''' ferrets
42 and minks, contracting the disease. We aimed to address the diagnostic bottleneck by
43 developing a PCR-based SARS-CoV-2 detection assay for cats (and, potentially, other animals)
44 which avoids the use of most common reagents, such as collection kits optimized for RNA
45 stabilization, RNA isolation kits and TaqMan-based RT-PCR reagents. We demonstrated that an
46 inexpensive solid-phase reversible immobilization (SPRI) method can be used for RNA
47 extraction from feline samples collected with DNAGenotekβs ORAcollect RNA OR-100 and
48 PERFORMAgene DNA PG-100 sample collection kits, optimized for RNA or DNA stabilization,
49 respectively. We developed a dual method SARS-CoV-2 detection assay relying on SYBR
50 RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing, using the same set of custom synthesized oligo primers. We
51 validated our testβs specificity with a commercially available SARS-CoV-2 plasmid positive
52 control, as well as two in-house positive control RNA samples. Our assayβs sensitivity was
53 determined to be 10 viral copies per reaction. Our results suggest that a simple
54 SPRI-dependent RNA extraction protocol and certain sample collection kits not specifically
55 optimized for RNA stabilization could potentially be used in cases where reagent shortages are
56 hindering adequate COVID-19 testing. These βalternativeβ reagents could be used in
57 combination with our COVID-19 testing method, which relies on inexpensive and readily
58 available SYBR RT-PCR and non-fluorescent PCR reagents. Depending on the detection goals
59 and the laboratory setup available, the SYBR RT-PCR method and the Sanger sequencing
60 based method can be used alone or in conjunction, for improved accuracy. '''Although the test is
61 intended for animal use, it is, in theory, possible to use it with human samples,''' especially those
62 with higher viral loads.
