Reports say that younger people are the ones catching the virus. The vaccines are working.
Those two states, the two most populous in America, never did what was necessary for meeting the pandemic. Their state governments have so dedicated themselves to the concept that people so care only about their economic lives that they are willing to risk their lives and health to a viral infection that is now mostly preventable.
Out of curiosity I checked to see if COVID-19 is sexually transmissible, and [/url][url=https://www.mayoclinic.org/sex-and-coronavirus/expert-answers/faq-20486572]the Mayo Clinic answered some of my questions. Sexual activity often exposes people to COVID-19 through infections other than through the genitals through the spread of the virus through kissing (which is not considered a sexual act) and contact with infected clothing, bedding, etc. It is not known to be transmissible through semen or through vaginal fluids. Coughing, of course. COVID-19 can pass fully through the digestive tract, so we all know where that leads (I will not be more explicit than that).
I had to bring this up, didn't I?
Quote: If you are sexually active with someone outside of your household, consider these precautions to reduce your risk of getting the COVID-19 virus:
- Minimize the number of sexual partners you have.
- Avoid sex partners who have symptoms of COVID-19.
- Avoid kissing.
- Avoid sexual behaviors that have a risk of fecal-oral transmission or that involve semen or urine.
- Use condoms and dental dams during oral and anal sex.
- Wear a mask during sexual activity.
- Wash your hands and shower before and after sexual activity.
- Wash sex toys before and after using them.
- Use soap or alcohol wipes to clean the area where you have sexual activity.
