Denmark ordered the culling of its entire mink population in 2020 following the discovery of a mutated COVID-19 strain known as "Cluster 5." This event leads to a discussion on the plummeting value of vintage mink coats on platforms like Craigslist. One host notes that coats originally worth thousands in the 1930s can now be found for $100 due to the social stigma against fur.

A host describes his wife Mimi's long-term investment strategy of purchasing vintage mink coats on Craigslist for approximately $100. These items, often originally valued at $8,000 in the 1930s, are viewed as high-value assets despite modern cultural opposition to fur.

Approximately 40,000 mink were released from farms in Ohio and Michigan following attacks by activists using anarchist symbols. While the Fur Commission USA focused on the $1.6 million livestock loss and vandalism, concerns remain regarding the potential for mink to act as a reservoir for COVID-19 or flu. Similar culling events occurred in Europe earlier in the pandemic due to the animals' human-like immune systems.

WHO investigators are focusing on ferret badgers and rabbits as potential intermediate hosts for COVID-19 at the Wuhan market. Professors Brett and Heather Weinstein discussed the phylogenetic relationship between these animals and minks, noting that the virus spreads exceptionally well in mink farms.
