Looks like some of you cucks will be OK


quote:

The coronavirus could linger in the testicles, making men prone to longer, more severe cases of the illness, according to a new study.

Researchers tracked the recovery of 68 patients in Mumbai, India, to study the gender disparity of the virus, which has taken a worse toll on men, according to a preliminary report posted on MedRxix, which hosts unpublished medical research papers that have not been peer reviewed.

Dr. Aditi Shastri, an oncologist at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, and her mother, Dr. Jayanthi Shastri, a microbiologist at the Kasturba Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Mumbai, said the virus attaches itself to a protein that occurs in high levels in the testicles.

This protein, known as angiotensin converting enzyme 2, or ACE2, is present in the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract and the heart in addition to large quantities in the testicles.

But since testicles are walled off from the immune system, the virus could harbor there for longer periods than the rest of the body, according to the study.

I make my balls wear a respirator so they're good.

Thanks for checking in on us, though.

If I have just 1, does that cut my risk in half?

No wonder most of the media isn't worried about catching it.

So, let's say a transgender person is identifying as a woman, dominating all the women sporting events, using the women's restrooms, and basically making all of the leftists proud, if this person gets the carona and it attaches itself in their testicles, will the leftists be outraged and scream bloody murder and blame Trump?

I'm a cyclops, as of January. I guess I'm 50% less vulnerable?
