slides; on my setup I can read a web page and view a video conf at the same time; but were I on a small screen I'd not be able to.

Please stay at least two meters away from tigers and other endangered species -- you could be a carrier of COVID-19 and make them sick.

On a slightly serious note, if tigers & other animals can harbour the COVID19 virus, they can become viral reservoirs from which infections can be passed on to humans.

No evidence, thankfully, of it going that way. They may not give shed the viruses.
