Thats my big fear.This isn’t surprising. But it might not be a good thing in the long run. Our immune systems need practice. If we aren’t exposed to various cold and flu viruses, then our antibodies won’t know to kill them when we do get exposed. I could see that being a potential problem.
Im usually okay with getting a cold or flu, but now im scared because of the scary stories and deaths related to Covid
before if I got sick it was no big deal id just fight it out, drink soups, stay home for a few days watch movies.
But now if I get sick im scared what if this is the dreaded covid now?
I know people who Rarely get sick, I heard it all depends on your youth, if you got sick as a child form the flu that means your immune system was boosted early and as long as you eat healthy you have a super immune system. They were talking about how kids should play outdoors and not video games all day to get exposed to germs in elementary
that is also one of the fears that kids are not exposed to germs right now being home schooled on zoom so their immune systems are not practicing fighting viruses and germs.
There was a bit of promising hopeful news a month ago some scientists believe Covid will be less lethal as herd immunity comes around as more people get covid and get vaccines. I hope thats the case
