I reckon we will find out in approx 9 months time. 🙂

Bit of a technical-looking read so will look more closely later when the brain starts working. It may be that the author has undertaken similar studies on those convalescing from other viruses, but certainly, Covid is being forensically examined like few other things; a bit like Offence Archaeology, people are looking for the 'dirt' on this thing to keep up fear levels.

Thanks for your reply :).
😆 I thought something similar with regards to 9 months time, not for the 1st time I find myself scrambling to a swedish to english translator to see how things are developing there.

Certainly the Chuan Huang Xiren Ji research https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/andr.12907 seems to be largely speculative based on other coronaviruses and sars but it is peppered with some cited Cov19 evidence eg in section 2.1 autopsies of 12 people who had covid19 showed dramatic reduction in leydig cells (I quote as if I would know a leydig cell or my epididymis from my elbow ;). Presumably this is the same 12 from a a Yang et al study cited under section 6.1 "structural and functional changes in the testis" in the 1st link. The Chuan Huang paper in this post also cites Pan et al claiming orchitis (only a small number mentioned).
Are these things from acute cases only?, are the effects permenant? avoidable with med intervention? switch on the bat signal to call in some principled boffins who can answer.

Thank you also for inferring what I was getting at with the potential for this to be misused as the other part of a pincer to potentially make people rethink the danger of the virus (or lack thereof if they are younger).
On the other hand for some fathers who have been cooped up with multiple rambumpcious kids for months this year it may have them hopefully rummaging through public bins to see if they can find a coughed on hanky they can sniff at 😆 .

Part of the concern comes from the non elected figures and agendas in the background. Wouldnt it just be typical if even as we were collectively wishing they would get the sack, "getting the sack" is exactly what they had been doing. (Im sorry I promise thats the last bad balls pun I will make ;).. unless I think of some more ;).

We need to shine the bat signal but for principled boffins into the night sky 😉 I have included these citations in case it makes it easier to dip into the links.
