Seeing as we’ve crossed the animal spunk rubicon: things are getting very weird for Hong Kong hamsters.
You may remember a couple of weeks back that Hong Kong’s main medical expert announced there was some cause for concern that people could be catching Covid from hamsters. The authorities therefore initiated a huge citywide hamster cull, looking to exterminate 2,000 of the little critters. Owners – unwilling to hand their pets over to the death squads – instead turned hamsters loose into the city by their hundreds.
Now the same medical professor has just given a press conference that has made headlines suggesting that men’s fertility could be at risk if they catch Covid. His evidence for this comes from… you guessed it! Hamsters.
He noticed hamsters’ sex drives were lower a week after being infected with Covid, their sperm count reduced and their testicles became “smaller and lighter”. |
