There were even those temporary structures/tents outside of hospitals in Australia. Saw them locally, none of the behaviours changed though.

I really really hope that this virus doesn't also jump to humans and force us to deal with strollouts and noncompliant people again...

Bit late to worry about it jumping to humans.

Sorry, I meant from human to human and instead said that

My bad

[-] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

I misunderstood, sorry.

It seems quite adaptable though, birds cows, cats, humans.

Nah, it was my really poor phrasing. What was being thought was not what got typed

Agreed. It's not looking good. I also hope against hope that it doesn't affect meat, eggs and milk supply
