I saw this too and wondered how the heck a wild deer can even catch it.  Not like they're around people regularly.

    If I’m not mistaken, most COVID strains are naturally occurring in nature.  It’s when man comes in and alters it to be transmissible from animals to humans (gain of function) that it becomes dangerous.

    It doesn't surprise me.  I see deer almost daily and I have yet to see one that was wearing a mask.  ?

    There's a 0.001 % chance a deer will die from it. Also will they blame covid when there is a hole in it come November...probably

    It’s cause they’ve reached “ herd” immunity! ?

    We still are worrying about chronic wasting showing up, deer meat is a staple at our house and will continue to be, tender loin-jerky-burger-and sweet deer bologna sticks. Chewing on jerky while I type.

    Big surprise. I see zero masks in all the photos I looked up.

     

    Surprise number two - it was in Florida. Shocked I tell ya! Stupid is as stupid does, famous or not.
