California Deer Are Facing Their Own Pandemic, And Need To Practice Social Distancing

Deer in Northern California are dealing with a deadly, highly contagious virus called adenovirus hemorrhagic disease.

In the early 1990s, thousands of deer died of adenovirus hemorrhagic disease during a major California outbreak that spread across 18 counties.

The illness isn’t known to affect people or pets, but it can be devastating for deer populations.
