Wuhan doctors warn coronavirus could cause male infertility
2020-03-15
[Washington Examiner] Chinese doctors warn that the coronavirus may lead to testicular damage and male infertility.

The report came from a team led by Li Yufeng, a professor from the Center for Reproductive Medicine of Tongji Medical College in Wuhan, where the virus originated.

The team published the report on the hospital website, but it was taken down after it was widely shared on Chinese social media.

So far, no study has confirmed that the coronavirus can damage male testicles and adversely hurt male fertility. The team suggested men who get the virus might consider getting tests on their semen quality.

So far, over 2,300 people in the United States have contracted the coronavirus, and at least 50 have died. President Trump declared a national emergency on Friday to combat the spread of the virus.

#8  And from I dunno when...

Meet Adam the panda in Eden,
Best known for his manners and breedin'.
He eats, shoots, and leaves.
Since the Garden is Eve's,
I believe he has settled in Sweden.

#7  And speaking of rape culture, grom... off the pile from whatever day that was that the bloid featured the most attractive smiling fully clothed fat woman rolling in sand on a beach I'd ever seen...

Dear ladies, I gotta be honest:
Though Hermes I'm not, nor Adonis,
If wearing a smile,
You'll need more than a mile
For headstart, when the end is upon us!

#6  Confucius say, "Chinese suggestible,
Not least on the state of inestimable.
West, best put on spectacle,
Spread rumor: Testicle
Bolstered by locust comestible."

Or in a year's time there won't be a [TLJ meets Noah trope here] left alive on this planet.

#4  a high fever decreases male fertility for a week or more depending on length of illness, degree of fever, etc.

this has been well known for several decades

if the fever and the antibody reaction ends up damaging your lungs or other organs the loss of fertility would not be your chief worry
