Many thanks, Dr. Sue!

I guess that I should not have assumed that the poster
meant FIP because coronavirus was written when as you
point out perhaps FIV WAS meant but coronavirus was
written by mistake.

So, I guess what this means is check and check again if
two components don't match, and look them up when
the nuances of a species are not well enough known.

This is one of many reasons it is so great to have such
wonderful vets looking over all of our shoulders here
on the FHL when they get the time.
