  1. Masks should be distributed to the deer, and teach them to social distance. No need to disinfect their hooves as long as they remain outdoors.

  2. Now you know why Rudolf had a “nose so bright” and all the other reindeer wouldn’t let him play reindeer games. He was quarantined.

    1. The tests aren’t accurate, there’s plenty of proof unless you’re brainwashed, braindead & a human joke!

  3. Did the PCR come back positive and how did the nurse stick the tester up the nostrils of the deers as they must have tested many animals?

    1. Did he say they were posting it on their Facebook page? Shouldn’t we be more concerned that deer are using Facebook???

  4. Such bulls**t. I quote Bonnie Henry: ‘this pandemic won’t be over until the lawsuits and inquiries are.’

  5. Another surprise would be if labs tested old human tissue samples from before 2019 that they kept. Would be interesting if they also tested positive.

  6. Instead of listening to these treacherous clowns go speak to your local conspiracy theorist…at least you might get some answers
