Queen Bitch 10,513 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 As many as 17 million minks are to be culled in Denmark after a mutated version of the coronavirus that can spread to humans was detected on mink farms. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the mutated virus posed a "risk to the effectiveness" of a future Covid-19 vaccine. Denmark is the world's biggest producer of mink fur. Police said the culling should happen as soon as possible. Coronavirus cases have been detected in mink farms in Denmark's northern Jutland region, and in other parts of Europe, for several months. But cases are spreading fast in Denmark, and five cases of the new virus strain were found on mink farms. Twelve people had become infected, the authorities said. Prime Minister Frederiksen described the situation as "very, very serious". She cited a government report which said the mutated virus had been found to weaken the body's ability to form antibodies, potentially making the current vaccines under development for Covid-19 ineffective. "We have a great responsibility towards our own population, but with the mutation that has now been found, we have an even greater responsibility for the rest of the world as well," she told a news conference. Minks at more than 1,000 farms are to be culled. Police Chief Thorkild Fogde said it would be a "very large undertaking". Studies are under way to find out how and why minks have been able to catch and spread the infection.

What do you think they were doing in the mink farms in the first place? They raise them to kill them for their fur. Mink fur is used to make eyelashes. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
