NYT says no need to worry yet. Phew.
No offense to you PaulW, but that article is idiotic. Giving NYT great benefit of the doubt, maybe they are trying to avoid general public panic over domestic cats, but I don't care if the tiger (or other cats & animals) are showing mild symptoms - asymptomatic humans can do a fine job of spreading the virus, maybe the same is true of animals..
That's what article said-it's not known if cats can spread virus to humans.
