The article said:
Denmark, the world's biggest producer of mink fur, said Wednesday it would cull all of the country's minks after a mutated version of the new coronavirus was detected at its mink farms and had spread to people.
The mutated virus is reported to respond weakly to antibodies.

We thought we had it in March. Then mrs w had a headache, cough and slight temp last Friday, tested sat which came back positive. She spent the day in bed feeling rough but thankfully back up and about on Sunday with just mild cold symptoms. On Monday I had sore throat and wierd aches. Got offered a test via the zoe app, tested weds and it came back negative.
Seem to remember reports saying antibodies had left the blood after six months, but your immune system could generate more when needed. Guess that lines up with our case, although all speculation due to lack of testing earlier in the year.

What’s alarming is how some people have a knee-jerk alarm response to headline numbers without looking at them in detail.

I mean it's certainly not impossible, it did originate in bats after all, and on the plus side it looks like there may be the opportunity to acquire a cheap fur coat for the wife's xmas present coming up
(Before the usual few with the sense-of-humour bypass lynch me, I would never buy anything made from real fur for my wife's Xmas present, it looks a bit too much paired with her ivory jewellery!)

Will be interesting to see if anything more is reported on this, but I do seem to remember stories breaking earlier in the year of CV or a derivative being spread by domestic cats, dogs, and at one point even tigers? Prof Francois Balloux said:
There are thousands of mutations in #SARSCoV2 arising constantly. The fact that a few have been observed in minks will not change the strains in circulation in humans.
