Medical people on these threads have been speculating on the sterility/infertility aspect of this disease for 2 months.
It infects the body via ACE2 receptors.
One of the largest distributions of those found in the human body is in the Testes.
This wouldn’t be the first virus that caused sterility. Mumps does that too if caught after puberty.
It would certainly explain the batshit response of the chicoms over what looked like a paltry number of deaths/infected.
And why one of the FIRST things they did was quarantine their military bases, no visitors allowed.
Worldometer having problems, getting a 404 when I try to get “countries”.
Watch what the virus does in Venezuela and Mexico. Venezuela had 33 cases several days ago.
Yes, I can do that, but it seems like at some point I’m going to have to face my fear of this, because my other supplies are not going to last the length of time this thing seems like it’s going to take.
Eventually I’ll be forced to walk with The Invisible Enemy.

Welcome to the jungle, art.
No lions or tigers or snakes here.
May I recommend donating your time to the local hospital since you are immune.
They could use the help!
It’s almost like he’s scared of catching a cold!
C’mon art, I’m sure they can use the volunteers!
Are patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus at increased risk for COVID-19 infection? by Lei Fang, George Karakiulakis and Michael Roth, The Lancet, March 11, 2020.
We suggest that patients with cardiac diseases, hypertension, or diabetes, who are treated with ACE2-increasing drugs, are at higher risk for severe COVID-19 infection and, therefore, should be monitored for ACE2-modulating medications, such as ACE inhibitors or ARBs. Based on a PubMed search on Feb 28, 2020, we did not find any evidence to suggest that antihypertensive calcium channel blockers increased ACE2 expression or activity, therefore these could be a suitable alternative treatment in these patients.
Fomites are probably a much larger factor than the droplets.
This bull sh*t health scare assertion has ZERO basis in fact! Did you not see the word “may” in it?
I cannot believe JimRob is allowing this Fake News bull sh*t to permeate this sight!
Most people recover from COVID-19!
Stats you guys like to ignore:
Coronavirus Cases:
213,669
Deaths:

Recovered:

Mumps.

Yes, every governor has the same power under an emergency declaration.
And yet our Southern border remains open and the wall only partially built thanks to pelosi/schemer 3 yrs of roadblocks. Even golden boy Trudeau up north closed his borders to all but commercial traffic. Seems they fear the Americans more than we fear the Mexico/South America scourge.
Major cities in China are now much like major cities here. Air conditioning is widespread. Many apartments in Wuhan look just like apartments in Los Angeles or New York, down to the stainless steel appliances.
Wuhan gets very hot and humid, so when it gets hot more people are likely to stay inside.
“Imagine if it had been released, simultaneously, in 100 of our largest cities.”
It was not.
I had mumps in Kindergarten. But my boys still swam fine enough. Not so much any more. It’s more like a lazy river.
I had all of them (like we all did “back in the day). Measles, German measles, mumps, chicken pox. Mumps made me far sicker than any of the others. German measles was pretty bad with lethargy and myalgia and that itchy rash all over but Mumps made my glands hurt so bad I wanted to die and it didn’t go away day after day.
Doctor Seheult in the video quotes the Eurpean Society for Cardiology which says there is no evidence that ACE2 inhibitors are risky and they should be continued. He gets into a lot of complex molecular biology (which he says is "simple" LOL).
I switched from Lisinopril to Losartan last summer. Both COULD put me at risk.
Its scientific hypothesis.
This virus infects via the ACE2 receptor (proven, known)
ACE2 expression is high in the testes (proven, known)
Viruses that affect the testes cause sterility (proven, known)
Therefore it’s not out of the realm of reality that THIS virus may ALSO affect the testes and cause sterility.
Chicoms militarily enforce quarantine on city of 11M people, never been done before (proven, known)
Chicoms DIG UP secondary and tertiary roads to enforce that quarantine (proven, known)
Chicoms did all this with fewer than 500 dead. (proven, known)
Mmmmmaybe the chicoms didn’t think it was ‘just a little sniffle’ either.
Prior to puberty is the key.
After puberty, especially after 18 or 20...can be bad news.
One of my kid had mumps in his late teens...no kiddos for him.
