Is social distancing really that healthy?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, I do know that social distancing is saving lives from COVID-19 (and only COVID-19), but it's not going to do any good in the long run, especially how over the top they are where I come from.

Nobody's coming into contact with any viruses at all, and one of the things that helps our immune systems thrive is coming into contact with germs and viruses we're already immune to. Not coming into contact with these other germs and viruses will cause them to become unfamiliar to our immune systems and that will not work out so good in the future.

Also children aren't coming into contact with any viruses and germs that they should be building immunity to, because they are being cocooned indoors forever and not going out into the world.

So in about another 20 years when this blows over, people will be getting incredibly ill from all these other viruses that they've lost immunity to, killing thousands if not millions of vulnerable people.

So yeah, let that sink in.

Things will get back to normal by the end of this year, I feel.

I’ve heard that we really won’t go back to completely normal until there’s a vaccine(which should be widely available in 2021)and that the antibodies sadly don’t provide 100% immunity.

I feel betrayed by those antibodies. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO MORE THAN THAT!! !! !

I agree with your train of thought.

I also think about how important human touch is and how it improves health and immunity.

I pray Kortie is right and we get back to normal relatively soon.

^ I agree with Blazingstar. Loneliness and isolation weaken the immune system and cause depression. It is a catch 22 situation.

all you guys absolutely NEED to do is make sure no americans get into your country. we've messed up the world in plenty of ways already.

Aren't people allowed to go on walks and do things outside, they just can't go in public and visit others unless it's necessary? Kids can still play outside, where they'll be exposed to bacteria and other microorganisms. I also don't think the heavy restrictions will last longer than the end of this year, at the most. People are overall starting to put this behind them (even if they really shouldn't be...) and are trying to figure out ways to get things back to normal while accommodating the situation. When I went to the store the other day it was packed again and barely anyone was wearing masks, and no one got in trouble.
