Buried #corona mutated zombie minks rising from the graves, may have contaminated groundwater in Denmark scientists warn - some resurfaced from the mass graves as gasses from the decomposition process pushed the mink out of the ground

- Totalitaarinen epidemialaki perustuslain ja ihmisoikeussopimuksen vastainen.
- Valehteli luvasta #lockdown :iin ja 17M minkin teurastamiseen.
- Levitti paniikkia valheellisilla sähköposteilla.

"DK-VET rådgiver normalt regeringen i sager om smitsomme dyresygdomme, men blev altså ikke spurgt til råds, før det blev afgjort, at alle mink i Danmark skulle slås ned. Heller ikke om nogle af avlsdyrene eventuelt kunne have overlevet." #dkpol #minkgate

"Det var først efter regeringens beslutning om, at minkene skulle slås ihjel, at vi fik en henvendelse fra Fødevarestyrelsen om at lade nogle af avlsdyrene leve. Men der var det jo nok for sent. Vi fik tre timer til at gøre det. Men dybest set var det jo spild af tid"#dkpol #mink
Alternativer blev ignoreret. »Modellen søger at lægge danske minkbesætninger i dvale indtil primo 2023 under den forudsætning, at det sundhedsfagligt er holdbart at opretholde en hvis bestand af avlsdyr«. #dkpol #minkgate #covid19dk

Minksmitte – hvad ved vi & ikke ved (tråd)
Mink smittes af mennesker med COVID-19. I Holland er 2 mennesker bekræftet smittet tilbage af mink. Der er ikke påvist smitte til omliggende samfund. #dkpol #covid19dk #mink science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…
2) I DK blev en minkfarm konstateret smittet i juni. Formodentligt smittet i maj. Tidslinje her altinget.dk/artikel/se-tid…
3) Første danske humane tilfælde blev konstateret 27/2-2020. @SSI_dk data vises imidlertid kun fra uge 24 ? i notat covid19.ssi.dk/-/media/cdn/fi… - men flere data på covid19.ssi.dk/overvagningsda… - Hvorfor? #dkmedier #dkpol #covid19dk

#Denmark #Copenhagen #Mink #minkcovid #Culling #Coronavirus

In the fight against the spread of a mutated form of the coronavirus, the Danish government has illegally ordered the mass killing of all mink in the country.
"We made a mistake," admitted Agriculture Minister Mogens Jensen on TV2. There is no legal basis to ask mink breeders outside the risk areas to cull their animals. At the same time Jensen called on the breeders to continue the emergency slaughter as planned.
Your cooperation is the best help to protect people's health. The government now wants to get a legal basis through parliament as soon as possible.

#Mink #Coronavirus #minkcovid #minkgate

Following the alarming news about mutated coronaviruses transmitted from mink to humans in Denmark, the World Health Organization (#WHO) announced that infected minks have been reported from six countries.
Cases of Sars-CoV-2 in mink have been detected in #Denmark, the #Netherlands, #Italy, #Spain, #Sweden and the #USA, the WHO said on Saturday night.
Only the mutation of the virus called “Cluster 5” in Denmark is worrying, it said: possible effects on diagnostics, therapies and the effectiveness of vaccines are largely unexplored and “not yet well understood”, warned the WHO.

#Denmark #Copenhagen #Mink #Coronavirus #minkcovid

In Denmark, at least 214 people have been infected with variants of the coronavirus that originally appeared in mink since June. 200 of the cases were detected in the North Jutland region,
according to the Danish health institute SSI. There are a particularly large number of mink farms in this region. Sars-CoV-2 was found in 216 breeding facilities across the country by Friday.
The cluster 5 virus type, classified as worrying by the Danes, has so far been found in five plants and in twelve people. The Danish government ordered on Wednesday that all mink in the country - around 15 to 17 million animals - should be killed.

#Denmark #NorthJutland #Coronavirus #Mink

Concerned about the spread of a mutation of the coronavirus that has occurred in mink, the Danish government is issuing far-reaching restrictions in the North Jutland region.
Local public transport will be discontinued in seven municipalities, and the almost 280,000 residents are urged to stay in their own municipality. One could speak of a real lockdown in North Jutland, said the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
This is necessary because a mutated coronavirus brings with it the risk of influencing the effects of an upcoming vaccine. All citizens in the affected communities are asked to take a corona test.

Recently reported #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 '#mink mutation' in #Denmark is getting a lot of attention right now, but officially we know almost nothing about the variants/mutations in question.
From an SSI report from Sept, here is a little info.

*Very important caveat* here that I'm working with very limited information, but trying to make some sense of something that's getting a lot of attention, with the little info I can find. However, this should be taken as a tweet thread, not a preprint or anything similar.

On page 8, the document describes 2 variants, defined by mutations A22920T & a 2 amino-acid deletion from 21766-21771. Both are changes in the Spike protein.

There are reports coming out in the Danish media of novel mutations emerging in #SARSCoV2 in #mink tinyurl.com/y5gbwype

SARS-CoV-2 can infect multiple mammalian carnivores and has now been detected in multiple mink farms to date 👇
Across high coverage #SARSCoV2 genomes isolated from mink @GISAID we pick up unique mutations including one in the #spike protein which has appeared at least five times in phylogenetically distant #mink lineages. Image
This mutation, falling within the receptor binding domain, may be a good candidate for adaptation of #SARSCoV2 to #mink hosts. While this mutation has been seen in #SARSCov2 in human circulation it is rare. Currently available mink genomes fall in the diversity of human #SARSCoV2

#Denmark #Copenhagen #Mink #killing #Coronavirus

Denmark is one of the largest producers of mink fur in the world. Now veterinarians and breeders have started killing around 2.5 million of the animals. The reason: numerous minks got infected with the corona virus.
The stocks of farms without own infections are also culled if there is a case within eight kilometers of a farm with corona. According to the food authority, farms with no infections that have to kill their animals will be reimbursed 100 percent of the damage.
Farms with infected animals receive a little less. The animals are killed with gas in special boxes. The fur is not on the market. It is said that the culling of the animals could take months.

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.
(The interview features the idea of a dedicated #Quarantine building - that would actually help, I guess)...
"People acting as if the pandemic was over was 'not the answer, it is part of the problem' ".

"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."
(and beyond, it is feared).
Due to #Melbourne's outbreak, neighbouring South Australia is about to completely close it's borders to #Victoria.

(Nearly) no exceptions. And those essential few who are allowed in, will have to wear facemasks the entire time...

Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #Gütersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"
kreis-vg.de Image
In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
It's just not prominently featured on their websites.

(Overlooked that myself, hence deleted earlier tweet)
landesrecht-mv.de/jportal/portal… Image
People from #Gütersloh district may have to scrap all their holiday plans anyway...

An official #Lockdown is just being announced for the entire district.
(for one week, as of now)
