damn dude you're high IQ I can't believe you snuffed out such a highly sophisticated astroturfing campaign like that. +1.
some of these fucking people are so damn insufferable nuke my account into oblivion please.
seriously, if all you can do is muster up an ad-hominen attack on my fucking account ("HUR DUR ONLY 1 COMMENT AND HE'S DOUBTING EXPERTS!! CAN YOU BELIEVE!! OMG SO SUS") and instead of simply looking up what I said, you are a fucking braindead moron.
99.9% of people just lurk you fucking asshole. Jesus fucking Christ not all of us can have 10000 karma points like you on a fucking Internet forum.
>all the natural immunity we squandered by locking everyone down
especially when it comes to children. It has already been established that the too sanitized modern existence leads to increase of allergies/autoimmunes/etc. Now the lockdowns and masks (which judging by the numbers haven't so far helped much with Covid) denied to children the early immune system "cross-pollination" of kinder-gardens/schools/etc. , thus one can expect even more immune system related issues down the road.
>experts are to be doubted. always
different experts were saying different things (like those epidemiologists saying that blocking people from beach is meaningless to say the least - i mean it is obvious even for non-experts, yet politicians still did it in order to "Do Something"). The key here is the choice of an expert to listen to, the choice made by the politicians and the populace scared by them.
> It has already been established that the too sanitized modern existence leads to increase of allergies/autoimmunes/etc.
This is called the Hygiene Hypothesis and it has not been established in the sense of having been empirically demonstrated and widely confirmed. It's still a theory with proponents and critics.
Hmm yes very good distinction to make. Certainly heard plenty of arguments on both sides and I'm pretty split.
I think this is separate, though - we're talking about an individual illness (common cold) driving out another individual illness (covid-19). Not so much to do with general hygiene than it is to do with specific bio-interactions between viruses.
