Will the new plague of coronavirus be detrimental to torts?

[Pure Tortoise Power]

So we all know about the recent outbreak of coronavirus in China. I know that some diseases only take effect on humans and not torts and vice versa. But I'm worried that this coronavirus will have adverse effects on torts like they do on us humans. Does anyone have a clue?

I hope everyone can stay safe and not be infected by the virus, especially those in Asian countries. We are all going to make it through.

I am no doctor or scientist but I have no fear that torts will get infected with the new corona virus. The blood temperature of torts is not what the virus needs.

I've heard that they think the virus originated from people eating snakes.
