A member asked:
If novel coronavirus originated from birds, can the birds here contract it from the air, and if so, can our pets get it from the birds then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birds?: There is a theory that it may have originated from the Chinese horseshoe bat. At this point, some tigers, lions, cats and dogs have been infected from humans. There is no evidence that they transmit COVID 19 at this time.
