Activists trading on the site " Facebook ", a video clip shows how the hospital admitted negligence in Zagazig Sharkia .

The video is made, one of the patients that image, move the cats in patients' rooms, and set them up with them, the bottom of the family, in the streets of the hospital, which activists saw as an expression of neglect experienced by the hospital.

This comes at a time in which she said Secretary of Health Dr. Maha Rabat, during a television interview on Wednesday, said that the patients have to deal with cats simply, the sufficiency of deportation voice or hand, revealing the inability of the ministry to solve the problem

This is interesting because cats have been found dead of novel coronavirus, H7N9, AND H5N1 so it would seem that they could become significant mammalian vectors. Furthermore, there is new research proving that the parasite toxoplasmosis gondii alters the response of rats' brains to the smell of cat urine. It causes rats to perceive the smells left by the cats as a sexually attractant pheremone, and this effect may not be limited to rats. I believe research is underway to determine if this effect explains why some animal hoarders can tolerate the smell of 30+ cats inside their homes, and whether toxoplasmosis shares a "zombie pathogen" characteristic with rabies virus; altering the behavior of some of those infected to engage in behaviors that happen to serve the spread of toxoplasmosis gondii, i.e., depositing cats in the rooms of hospital patients.

Not to rip only Egypt, after all there are regions in the United States such as Southern Florida where the outdoors smells like a giant litterbox in many areas while health departments do nothing.
