Unconcerned about COVID? Virus could potentially ‘infect penis for life’
Early in the coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Tom Hope issued a dire warning in this magazine about a potential second wave of infections come the fall.Hope, of Northwestern University’s Hope Laboratory in Chicago, said that COVID-19 would return “with a vengeance,” and that, with environmental conditions that favor the virus, as well as the onset of flu season, it would be “like a thousand Wuhans releasing virus at the same time.” Reminded of that prediction, Hope says he “couldn’t have called it better.”On that day in April, 35,386 new cases of coronavirus were confirmed in the U.S., according to World Health Organization data.
