I started laughing my ass off at this and then my wife wanted to see what was so funny and now I’m not allowed to do this.

Makes me sad.

The most recent research I heard was that human transmission was highly unlikely. It was kind of a big deal and happy news. The experiment involved high prion concentrations and human cells with a long exposure.

A few years ago, there was successful primate transfer, IIRC.

This is something I watch pretty closely.

Best controls are natural predators or heavy hunting to reduce population density.

What denomination, primarily, were you? Did you manage to get anyone out with you? (I was unable.)
