Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Totally agree but keep in mind that various countries have been investigating this specifically due to anomolous results when testing dogs.
We know little about this virus but their statement that there is no evidence can at least be qualified with the fact that Japan and a few other places have been looking into it.
Not proof of course, but also not totally unqualified.
