A news report published on the website of the British "Nature" magazine said that the US Department of Agriculture researchers conducted a new coronavirus antibody analysis study on the serum samples of some white-tailed deer in the states of Michigan, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania and found that 1 /3 The white-tailed deer sampled had antibodies related to the new coronavirus, and 60% of the samples collected in Michigan had antibodies detected.
This indicates that they have been infected with the new coronavirus.
Considering the widespread distribution of white-tailed deer in the United States and the close contact with humans, we cannot help but ask, what does this discovery mean?
How did these white-tailed deer get infected?
Is it through contact with humans or other animals?
Or is it infected through contaminated water?
Why are they infected at such an early point in time?
Should this become a new direction for attention and research on virus traceability issues?
As more and more evidence surfaced, will some American politicians continue to ignore science and facts?
Should we continue to blame China?
Should we continue to push back the global call to obstruct investigations into the Fort Detrick base and other places?
On the issue of traceability, I would rather catch the wind and catch the shadows, but selectively lose sight of my own doubts. Perhaps this is not what a "responsible big country" should be responsible for?
