In this audio, they mention how deer tested positive for COVID in 2020, at a rate much higher than humans (30-80%)

What they don't mention, but leave as an afterthought in the text, is that the COVID tests were done by lymph node biopsy rather than nasal swab.

NPCs and midwits (regardless of their political stance on covid) never realize things like this and it makes me think that I'm one of the few people with actual consciousness in the world
