Atlanta zoo gorillas positive for Covid...got it from vaxxed employee

So...the Atlanta zoo has had an outbreak of covid amongst the gorillas...and they are going to treat them with a vaccine.

A Georgia zoo is treating 13 western lowland gorillas who have tested positive for COVID-19 after displaying symptoms. 

Zoo Atlanta employees tested the animals after they suffered from coughing, runny noses and loss of appetite – now known as possible symptoms for the virus. One of the gorillas is Ozzie, who is currently the world’s oldest living male gorilla at the age of 60 years old. 

The zoo believes a vaccinated, asymptomatic employee who cares for the gorillas passed on the virus. 

And it was a vaccinated employee that passed it along.

Zoo Atlanta has been authorized to use the Zoetis vaccine, Fox 5 Atlanta reported. The vaccine, which is specifically made for animals, recently arrived at the zoo, and officials say the gorillas will receive the vaccine as they recover.

For now, the zoo is using monoclonal antibodies to treat the gorillas. All 20 of the zoos gorillas will undergo testing. 

And in another zoo they had the same and all recovered just fine with whatever "treatment" they had.

A group of eight gorillas at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park contracted the virus and underwent treatment. One silverback among the infected apes received an experimental antibody regimen, and all recovered, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

I was thinking the same thing. Also, are these gorillas getting better medical treatment than humans. Not certain if I'm right here, but aren't those monoclonal thingymajigs (yes, I forgot what they're called) really hard to get now? I believe I heard that....

I now fear most for Sasquatch.

They are so elusive, nobody will be able to give them the vaccine.

Not hard to get. My ex just got them in the hospital here last night....she is vaxxed and got covid and was so bad she had to be admitted.

I'm just wondering who is going to be the one to make sure the gorillas keep their masks on. If they don't, then how can they safely allow anyone into the zoo?

Don't worry. If this administration has to burn down the entire forest, they will find that Sas and vaccinate his @$$!

Nice....actually snort laughed.

The elusive anti-vaxsquatch....it will be the downfall of humanity.

I listen to an animal podcast and the zoo expert the bring says that no vaccine, medicine, treatment given to animals is designed for humans. I think questions were raised about how ethical is giving treatment to animals that could help people not only in the US but around the world.

Nah. Dey wuv der wittle animuls...JUST NOT YOU!

How do you get a swab up a gorilla's nose to do a covid test?

I might tend to think differently than others, I am definitely not normal.

I am reminded of an old off color joke about gorillas and sausage
which revolves around the meaning of "pulling down one's eyelid"

You made me aspirate my ginger tea!

Worse. You are right.

Are they sure it was not a racist leftist in a gorilla mask?

Were they assaulting black people and throwing eggs?

Will gorillas now require vax cards/id to travel?
