Yep. Just open the barn doors. What could go wrong?

Illinois is not very different.

Illinois has 48,102 cases.

Chicago alone has 33,449.

I'm sure the same case can be made for upstate and western New York.

[jon-nyc]

The virus tends to spread in humans so the case count is higher where more humans live.

Yeah. Funny, that, eh?

Yeah, but that’s nowhere near proportional in Pennsylvania.

[jon-nyc]

You would expect convexity. The reproductive rate would have a non-linear relationship with density.

that's what the per-capita brigade would have us believe.

Is anything known about whether it spreads via animals, too?

[jon-nyc]

Animals have caught it. Imagine they could spread it too. But I haven’t heard anything specific.

Coronavirus is very common in cats (though not this particular strain). One of the scary things is that it is usually a nothingburger, but sometimes it mutates causing Feline Infectious Peritonitis. A particularly nasty disease that is usually fatal.

[jon-nyc]

This particular virus has infected large cats and domestic cats.

Yup and at least one dog.

Yes. Several pets have gotten it, presumably from their owners. Indoor cats have gotten it. Dogs, too, have tested positive.
