As of last month advice was that you are only contagious for around 14 days after recovering from Covid 19. I haven’t seen anything to update that.
if you have immunity you are no longer a viable host
twaddle.
Show me the science behind that theory.

Never said a person with immunity was a viable host, just the OPPOSITE.
The immune system can only tackle it once it in the blood stream. It can therefore be in the blood stream, on peoples hands, in their mucus, in their saliva etc. That much should be obvious. It might only survive in those environments for a limited time, but it can still be passed on within that limited timeframe.
Infectious person A snogs immune person B, who in turn in a short timeframe, snogs non-infected, non-immune person C. C ends up infected. There doesn't need to be direct A to C contact. B doesn't even need to be a person. There have been cases where B has been a bottle or more strangely a spray bottle.

Thailand has today issued a new coronavirus warning after a spike of 13 cases were traced to a group of friends who shared cigarettes and whisky while on a night out.Dr Sukhum Kanchanapimai, the health ministry's permanent secretary, said that the cluster of cases was caused by party goers who became infected while enjoying Bangkok's nightlife.
He told reporters: 'There was inappropriate behaviour, sharing drinks, cigarettes and not avoiding social activities after returning from an at-risk country.'

Nearly 50 people have been infected with Covid-19 at a church in South Korea after an official sprayed salt water into members’ mouths because they thought it would kill the virus, according to The South China Morning Post, citing officials. An official at the River of Grace Community Church in Gyeonggi Province, near Seoul, used the same spray bottle on multiple church-goers without disinfecting the nozzle, causing a large number of the 100 or so attendees to be infected, including the church’s pastor and his wife.

Somebody obviously has never been around a dog or a cat with fleas.

Yes, humans can get fleas from their dogs and other pets. If you’ve ever walked across the carpet and noticed a dark speck on white socks that suddenly appears then vanishes, that speck probably was a flea.
While pets undoubtedly enrich our lives in innumerable ways, this close proximity has put us at greater risk for sharing ectoparasites, such as the flea. But don’t fret just yet; the possibility of getting fleas yourself is not reason to put your pup in the dog house.
There are thousands of species of fleas, and most animals have a specific flea species that prefers that animal as its host. While the flea that dogs typically carry can—and do—jump over to humans and bite us, the dog flea cannot survive on humans.
First, dog fleas need dog blood to eat. Second, humans aren’t hairy enough to provide ample hiding coverage or the warm environment that dog fleas seek in a home.
