Please call your Congressional Representatives and urge them to demand that the USDA begin screening pigs for the Covid-19 virus.
Viral RNA was detected in nasal wash and oral fluids in 2 animals, and the live virus was detected in 1 pig. Moreover, antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 2 pigs at 11 and 13 days after infection, while oral fluids collected 6 days after inoculation showed the presence of secreted antibodies. While 1 pig displayed mild symptoms, including coughing and depression, multiple pigs had mild ocular and nasal discharge during the immediate, post-infection period.
Now isn't it more important to look at the pigs at pork plants with clusters of Covid-19 cases?
