Thanks Dave. As far as finding a mask for your dog, (not to be mean), just don't eat it, that's how it all started in china, ain't it?

Hong Kong reports COVID-19 in domestic cat, 3rd positive animal
http://outbreaknewstoday.com/hong-kong-reports-covid-19-in-domestic-cat-3rd-positive-animal-59322/

Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department reported this week the first COVID-19 positive case in a domestic cat.

The case involves a domestic short-haired cat that lived in a residence in Aberdeen.

When the owner was confirmed with COVID-19, the cat was sent for quarantine at the animal keeping facility at the Hong Kong Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge on March 30. ---CONTINUED---

The report about the cat made me wonder about the dog that first got infected. I found this: (From March 17th). I noticed the dog was 17 years old!!

The first known dog to test positive for the coronavirus has died in Hong Kong after apparently recovering from the disease, according to a local report.

The pooch, a 17-year-old Pomeranian, passed away Monday after being returned home to its owner following a government quarantine and a negative test for the virus, the South China Morning Post reported. ---CONTINUED---

CDC recommends social distancing with pets as more become infected with the coronavirus. If an animal can get coronavirus, why do they say they can't transmit it. I'm not a smart man, only went to the 5th grade   , but it just doesn't make sense to me:
