Since this thread is already started, and I don’t want to start another thread in QZ just to ask this, I’ll ask it here.

I posted in the long Covid thread:

@LSLGuy tries to explain

@puzzlegal then posts

But the point of the quote that I posted was that the person was recovered. But even if that wasn’t true, people don’t usually say that colds are sexually transmitted since you can get one if you’re having sex with someone who has a cold. I’m not seeing how truncating that quote to take out the recovered part and then talking covid as sexually transmitted is relevant.
