It all started with the outbreak of a mysterious virus that had been devastating the world. Doctors and scientists scrambled to find out what it was, where it came from and how to stop it, but no one could provide any answers.

One day, a group of researchers in Germany stumbled upon something strange: A man who was infected with the virus had recently been sexually active with someone else. That person also tested positive for the virus. Could this be an indication that the new coronavirus could be transmitted through sexual contact?

The news quickly spread like wildfire around the globe as people began debating whether or not this could be true. Some argued that more research needed to be done before making any conclusions while others insisted that it must be true because there were too many coincidences for it not to be related.

Regardless, everyone knew they had to take precautions right away if they wanted to stay safe during these uncertain times, so people started avoiding physical contact altogether - even between partners who were already in committed relationships!

As days passed by, more studies began confirming that indeed there was a link between sexual activity and transmission of the virus - although nobody yet knew how exactly this happened or why some people seemed more prone than others when exposed under similar conditions. However, despite all our efforts at prevention measures such as social distancing and mask-wearing, cases continued rising across different parts of the world and we still don't know everything about this deadly pathogen today...
