Five Stupid Questions

 Over the past 18 months, I've followed a lot of Covid news, discussions, and chatter.  Some made sense.....some made no sense.  So these were five of the discussion/questions I noticed:

1.  Can you get antibodies (not Covid itself) via sexual relations?  Some guy was worried (he apparently was a non-vax type) but he had a worry that he might get some 'bad' antibodies if he went hooking up with the wrong woman.  If you think about this....pro-vax people should only have relations with other pro-vaxers.  Non-vax people should only mingle or have relations with non-vax people.  

2.  Should you disinfect your car after hauling some relative or associate around?  There was some German car repair shop I had business with, and early on....they offered some disinfectant service (I think in the range of 20 Euro or $24).  Some older gal in front of me was asking in some way if this was a good idea....she had to haul some friend in the car the day before. Mechanic guy didn't bat an eye....yep, very wise idea to disinfect the car.  In the first three months of offering the 'service', I bet they had a hundred people a week stopping by for the six-minute disinfectant service.  

3.   Some guy asked on a radio call-in deal....if you could get the virus while sitting on a public toilet.  The response went to some answer like.....there are forty-odd things you could get from a public toilet....already before Covid came along.

4.  At some point early on (Spring 2020)....Berlin police started to get Covid questions....almost on a minute-by-minute basis.  Folks were calling them....instead of doctors or nurses.  The city police had to put out a blunt statement....call us for crime....not Covid.

5.  Someone in the US brought up a question that came from a radio show....guy asking if you wear a condom....would it protect you from getting Covid.  The response went to some counter-question....are you social distancing while engaged in this act (suggesting 3 feet distance).
