WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - The novel coronavirus has been discovered in the semen of infected male individuals, according to Chinese researchers, raising the prospect that the virus could potentially be sexually transmitted. However, the study also raises questions: It doesn’t explain how much viral load was present in the sperm, nor does it examine whether or not the virus could be transmitted through sexual activity.
The study, conducted at China’s Shangqiu Municipal Hospital, is described in a research letter published Thursday by the JAMA Network of medical journals. This research is the first to detect the virus in reproductive fluids. Further study is needed to understand whether safe-sex practices should be part of COVID-19 prevention efforts, according to medical experts who read the paper.
“These are intriguing results,” John Brooks, chief medical officer for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC's) coronavirus response, told The Wall Street Journal. But it doesn’t mean that semen is infectious, he said.

Well, based on this latest proclamation from “The Experts” there’s no sense in continuing testing for the virus since pretty much everyone would have been infected as a result of being repeatedly ... uh ... [searching desperately for a synonym] ... “shagged” by their governor.

“Are theirs that small?”
The Chinese are not fond of that term when used as descriptive of their willies. They prefer the term diminutive.

Weren’t some of the theories floated about the genetics of this virus... that it had bits of HIV DNA in it?

If you are bothering to have sex, and you are already wearing masks, and gloves, why not just wear a condom?
Ahhh, now I see what they meant by ‘viral load.’
ACE-2 receptors are in testis.
Not to mention having sex when you are six feet apart.

So sorry for your loss.
German Measles, a viral disease, caused the death of many unborn babies, until a vaccine was found.
Would I believe a study conducted at some Chinese hospital .... nope.
Coincidentally, 60 million is the number of unborn babies killed in America since Roe v. Wade.
Nah, they’re normal sized bats.
She also appeared in Star Trek as an Oeion slave girl who dances for Kirk. I only saw that in reruns. By then, I knew what those 'stirrings' were. Evidently, Adam West had those same 'stirrings'. 😉
Oh crap, before you fly on a plane are you supposed to produce a sample to have it tested?
