>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 makes men infertile There is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 can cause infertility. Tests find that the virus is undetectable in the testicles and sperm: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.31.20042333v2
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 has antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) There is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 has ADE. Attempts at re-infection elicit a robust antibody response: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.10.036418v1
>CVG MYTH: You cannot become immune to COVID-19 Though we cannot be sure how long immunity lasts, antibodies titres are found in recovered COVID-19 patients and all known coronaviruses confer at least some degree of temporary immunity: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.14.20065771v1
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 mutates rapidly and there are multiple strains COVID-19 has a relatively stable genome and mutates slower than influenza. Reports of multiple strains reference negligible genetic differences that have no effect on virulence or immune response: livescience.com/coronavirus-mutation-rate.html
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 contains HIV Early debunked reports suggested the Novel Coronavirus genome contained HIV-like sequences. This HIV-like sequence refers to the virus’ spike protein, its mechanism for binding to ACE2 receptors on cells. Genomic analysis suggests that whilst the novel RNA Coronavirus mimics HIV’s binding mechanism, said mechanism is an independently arising protein of a different kind and does not entail a HIV-like pathogenesis: archive.is/rW2hA
>CVG MYTH: COVID-19 destroys the immune system Whilst COVID-19 can attack T-Cells, no evidence of viral reproduction in them could be found. Lymphopenia is common in viral infections and T-Cell counts should recover post-infection: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.11.20062349v1.full.pdf html

Ethnic minorities in England and Wales dying from coronavirus at higher rates than white peers, study suggests By Zamira Rahim, CNN Updated 1243 GMT (2043 HKT) May 1, 2020
Covid-19 deaths twice as high in poorest areas in England and Wales Most deprived areas had 55.1 deaths per 100,000 people, compared with 25.3 in affluent areas Caelainn Barr Fri 1 May 2020 14.31
