On a slightly different topic:

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has delivered a major blow to Meng Wanzhou, ruling that extradition proceedings against the Huawei executive should proceed. To the US that is.

I was hoping there would be sufficient evidence for her to be released as the two Canadians imprisoned in China as retaliatory hostages have been there for over two years now. It is now looking v bleak for them...

Just had an unpleasant thought:

Is it possible that Sanders is dragging out the Democratic Primaries to keep in the headlines and with the eventual goal, seeing that he will very likely not win the nomination, of running as an independant??

BTW, I know of no specific reason why that might happen - just worrying out loud I guess...

Dog or cat petting and virus transmission?

Not trying to alarm anyone but, since I volunteer for a pet therapy group, I am wondering if dog/cat petting can be a means of transmission of the flu or corona virus. We are admonished not to shake hands but what about petting a dog or cat that has just been petted my others?

I have googled the matter but can find nothing definite. Anyone have a source of info?
