We don't know if HRH Prince Charles actually HAS coronavirus - or 'just' returned a +ve test. It strikes me that there could be close similarity between this virus and strangles: I have a 25yo boy in the field who nearly died of strangles 17 years ago because he 'met' a carrier when his immunity levels were very low. He had travelled with a horse in the lorry (nose to nose) who had met the same carrier briefly - and they were quarantined immediately - only one stable apart - in a block only 'open' to one carer. The other horse didn't get it - and none of 20 horses on the same yard did either. TWO horses on the yard they'd come fom DID get it - they had just arrived from Ireland (where strangles was rare/unheard of.
Of course, carriers CAN be identified here - and 'cleared' with a washout. If that coud be done for coronavirus, it WOULD fix it very quickly. And of course, the scientist responsib;e would have fame and fortune heaped upon him/her in front-loaders full. Let's hope it might happen. Until then, all we can do is Stay Calm, Stay Safe - and Hope.
