Had not hear about the possible effect on fertility. I’ve been wondering why the response to this worldwide has been so extreme.
Maybe they were planning to use it against the Uighurs. Perhaps that’s why they’ve been rounding them up into camps. But it got out.
Governments must now know that it is not only very contagious, but it can cause infertility, which is why they’re willing to take huge hits to their economies, and reelection chances, to stop it.
I would also explain why the worldwide response was at first fairly lackadaisical, and then got very serious very quickly.
Even though the ‘fill up your ICU’s’ is apparently a thing, if it only killed the old people I don’t think governments would be hair on fire with this.
Let’s be honest. If this virus only killed the old people, china wouldn’t have done a damned thing to stop it.
Neither would European countries.
Or most other countries who are underwater on pension plan funding.
So there’s something going on besides the overall mortality rate and morbidity rate in the over 60’s.
I also think we may be in the initial stages of some sort of ‘event’ with China (perhaps others). I’ve never heard trump refer to himself as a ‘war time president’ before.
Most of the ‘cautions’ and ‘warnings’ about movement and gatherings sound like preventing ‘target rich environments’ than reducing disease spread.
