How SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer could alter the course of the pandemic : Goats and Soda : NPR

Scientists have evidence that SARS-CoV-2 spreads explosively in white-tailed deer, and the virus is widespread in this deer population across the U.S.

There are many stories and photos to post but I’ve been saving them up. Plus there are many things I’m unsure of – I’ve been thinking a lot about the things I’ve seen and done and not totally sure of the words yet. I had a wheel bearing fail in Lock Haven PA but that got fixed. Lucked out on that.

I thought about heading home before the rain tonight but I think I’ll spend a few more days out in the woods – going to be wet tonight into tomorrow but I’m hoping for better weather come the afternoon tomorrow. It will give me a chance to do some reading and assuming I have cell service maybe some blogging too. I don’t want to drive home in the rain or camp in the rain but I’m not ready to go home yet.
