Take on the CoronaTiger (and take on a trump sucking)

We could write a thousand words about the complete waste of time that Trump's press conference was today..but it would just be repeating what we've said for weeks. He touted an unproven drug with the phrase "what do you have to lose?" which coincidentally was the same phrase he told us in 2016 when he was running for office. The answer of course is..a lot

It wouldn't shock us if Trump had stock in the drug company who makes hydroxychloroquine but since we know nothing about his finances, we just don't know
We could go on about the fact he wouldn't let Dr Fauci answer the question about the scientific validity of Trump's claim or we could talk about the word salad he made of the rest of it but it's boring. Trump is just boring

So we will concentrate on the tiger who got the coronavirus. It's a sad story, I guess, and it does make it scary that animals could pass this thing to humans, like for example our dogs could be passing it to other dogs who could pass it to humans. We need to social distance our dogs now too.

But two questions I saw on Twitter struck me

- who put the swab up the tiger's nose?
- how did the Bronx Zoo get a test for a tiger when there are hundreds of thousands of humans waiting for one
