AFAIK pets cannot get it in the traditional sense of having the virus in them, reproduce and become infectious, but they can carry the live virus in a phyiscal sense, same as any object, alive or not. So if the cat was stroked outside by someone with the virus and then came in and the owner stroked it, that could allow the virus to pass on.

The thing I want people to remember as well at least in the US, even with all this rationing of tests only around 10% of the tested are actually coming up positive. If medical professionals feel that you are not at risk of getting severe symptoms they should not be testing you. If you feel you need a test its on you to let people who you have come in contact with that you are sick. There are only so many labs that these tests can be done at right now. I know people in the lab sector and they are swamped right now. They say the only other pool of testers they can pull from is the food processing sector and those people are testing for other things so we all don't get anything else. The testing field is also getting to its breaking point right now.
I'll just leave this here

Well, I am no doctor or expert on it, but it appears it is those with lung issues which are the most susceptible to it. I do not think being overweight has much to do with dying from it, unless you are obese and suffering from the issues it mostly attacks. And most are males? Have not heard that.

In the meantime, from Brazil our friend the mini-Trump:
“They never catch anything. You see some bloke jumping into the sewage, he gets out, has a dive, right? And nothing happens to him.”
Without offering any scientific evidence, Bolsonaro continued: “I think it’s even possible lots of people have already been infected in Brazil, a few weeks or months ago, and have already got the antibodies that help it not to proliferate”.
Facts do not support Bolsonaro’s insinuation that Brazilians are somehow immune to dangerous infections.
On Thursday Brazil’s health ministry said that its coronavirus death toll had risen to 77, up from 46 on Tuesday. So far 2,915 cases have been confirmed.
We're sending emergency flights to various countries to return citizens back to Israel.
2 days ago we have imported 60 coronavirus cases from US in a single flight this way and now it seems another emergency flight from Peru from 2 days ago had a lot coronavirus cases as well - many returned positive after test.
There are more flights scheduled to bring citizens back and there is expectation that many of them will test positive too.
Holy macaroni Boris Johnson just got tested positive for Corona
