But if an immune person does the same and then licks his finger, how long can the virus live in his saliva? For example, as that is what is suggested.

I don’t know enough, but that would seem to impact the herd immunity, if you are immune but the virus can live in you, outside the blood stream and therefore outside the immunity response and go on to infect others?

I don’t see how that works.

Well yes - what you say. Except that there will be a period of viability and thereafter, due to immunity, the virus must lose virulence and eventually die. "Hello darling". Lip kiss kiss. Maybe other person infected.

My purely layman's/common sense view. I too don't know enough.
