So what's your point?Key factsYour evidence for that claim is... ?? All the evidence indicates that the coronavirus is EXTREMELY contagious, much more so than the flu. And it doesn't require intimate contact the way that STDs do. So what's your evidence? Put up or shut up.You have more of a chance contracting the clap or any other STD than you do Covid 19Go on out there gracie. Experience life. Have at it. But I'm staying at home.

- More than 1 million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide (1, 2).
- Each year, there are an estimated 376 million new infections with 1 of 4 STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and trichomoniasis (1, 2).
- More than 500 million people are estimated to have genital infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) (3).
- More than 290 million women have a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (4).
- The majority of STIs have no symptoms or only mild symptoms that may not be recognized as an STI.
- STIs such as HSV type 2 and syphilis can increase the risk of HIV acquisition.
- 988 000 pregnant women were infected with syphilis in 2016, resulting in over 350 000 adverse birth outcomes including 200 000 stillbirths and newborn deaths (5).
- In some cases, STIs can have serious reproductive health consequences beyond the immediate impact of the infection itself (e.g., infertility or mother-to-child transmission)
- The Gonococcal Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Programme has shown high rates of quinolone resistance, increasing azithromycin resistance and emerging resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins. Drug resistance, especially for gonorrhoea, is a major threat to reducing the impact of STIs worldwide.

As I said
"You have more of a chance contracting the clap or any other STD than you do Covid 19
and an even greater risk of catching the flu than Covid 19"
