Sorry, you can't get tested for CV because we are busy testing tigers.

Sure you not confusing Costco with Walmart?

Nope, definitely Costco. Went there last Friday, the line wrapped through the parking lot. After seeing the line, I left and went to a store down the street, got what I needed and was out in under 10 minutes. Only one person ahead of me in the self-checkout line. Takes a special kind of stupid to wait in line for 45 mins+ surrounded with people who might have the virus when you can drive down the street to another store and be out in under 10 minutes.

Sure, Walmart probably has more rednecks than Costco, but at least rednecks are less prone to virus-related fear. They don't sit around all day watching CNN and thinking the world is coming to an end. And when they do get worried, they buy ammo, not toilet paper.

Zoo keepers need to be aware if they're dealing with an animal that can give them Coronavirus so they don't get it and bring it to Costco.

Tigers don't spontaneously get Coronavirus. The zookeepers give it to them. If a tiger has it, the zookeepers already had it earlier.

Maybe we should have the tigers shelter in place....oh wait.

There's more than one zookeeper who will deal with the tiger. One zookeeper may give it to the tiger who may then can transmit it to another zookeeper that might have not yet contracted it from the previous zookeeper. It's good to know if you're dealing with animals that have the Coronavirus. Since they probably got it from another human it means they can probably transmit it to you. Especially since we are talking about a massive animal like a tiger that probably exhales lots of particles into the air when it breathes.

Yes, there are hundreds of thousands people who don’t meet the CDC thresholds for testing who would like to be tested. And a person who meets the CDC criteria will get tested. Most patients with confirmed COVID-19 have developed fever and/or symptoms of acute respiratory illness (e.g., cough, difficulty breathing).

There are a lot of people out there that want a test and we've been told there aren't enough tests for everybody, but they have enough to give to lions and tigers?
