Deer identified as widespread carrier of coronavirus

Yet another study of white-tailed deer suggests that the North American population is  harboring widespread coronavirus infection .

As much as 80% of the 445,000-strong Iowa deer population may carry the disease, according to a new study,  The Times  reported  on Tuesday.

That rate of infection was said to be “effectively 50 times” more pervasive in deer than Iowa’s human population.
