actually #Hendravirus and #ABLV #Lyssavirus are NOT mild in humans (50% to 100% mortality) but we manage to stop humans catching them very successfully!
so SARS-cov-2 infecting wild animals is not an excuse to give up.
this disinfo graphic still bugs me a year later… yes, eradication is doomed, but that's not an excuse to just give up completely and wallow in filth like the #NSW #LNP

Total eradication is probably impossible, descendants of pandemic variants have already got back into wildlife.
BUT being #Endemic in animals doesn't mean numerous human cases are inevitable.
#Australia has some horrifying endemic viruses including #Hendravirus and #ABLV (Aussie #rabies) but human cases of both are zero in most years. Even if these transmitted easily between humans, a swift response could contain infrequent outbreaks.
