James Cracknell (olympic rower) was another star to have their celebrations interrupted. Cracknell tested positive for Covid that day.
In addition to a quick glare at his lateral flows test, he wrote: “Santa dropped what I have been “waiting all of year for.” Covid. Dug trying explain to me that I’m not just lazy, but also ill. Dug isn’t buying it. Have a fantastic Chirstmas everyone. Jx’
James saw the humor in James’ snap with his dog. He captioned it: “I’m not Dr Dolittle, but I think he is thinking that you can’t give him covid and are going nowhere.” You’re right on both of these counts.

While it is possible for pets to contact Covid, Britain’s Chief Veterinary Officer Christine Middlemiss has stressed that Covid cases in animals are ‘very rare’.
Dogs are infected the same as humans by breathing in droplets from infected people who cough or sneeze.
There is no evidence that animals transmit it to humans, with research suggesting they do not ‘shed’ enough virus to be infectious.
Dolittle: James saw the humor in James’ picture of his dog and shared it with the caption, “I’m not Dr Dolittle, but I think he is thinking, you can’t give him covid, and you’re moving nowhere.”
