Scrub and spray everything with chemicals, bathe in Purell, mask up, stand no nearer to anyone else than six feet, stay away from crowds, douse yourself with alcohol, wash your hands and face raw, protect yourself from germs at all costs.
Some nations are closed completely. No one in or out.
We panic about “cases” even when they say nothing about severe consequences. Avoidance and finally suppression are the watchwords of the day, for a virus that is relatively mild by any historical standard, as Holman Jenkins just explained:
U.S. government scientists now estimate that 40% of cases are asymptomatic and 80% of symptomatic cases are mild—in short, 88% of subjects don’t know they are infected or have no great incentive to find out if they are suffering from Covid or some more familiar bug.
We could also mention the 99.9% survival rate, and that doesn’t consider the wildly disproportionate risk between the sick and healthy.
Is this an experiment? Yes, and likely a deadly one.
What precisely are we doing to ourselves? What are we doing to children?
Early in the pandemic, doctors went on the national stage to frame it up clearly: we are wrecking our immune systems and making ourselves vulnerable to more serious pathogens later. ..

How do we stop a government, a bureaucracy especially when they’ve just slammed the door on their tax money? They’re either double down and get more draconian or open the economy and let American’s be free again. Do citizens have a voice anymore? Doctors or nurses without repercussions?
Yep.
Turns out that vitamin D might be a key also.
Overly sterile environments lead to a serious increase in allergic response as the immune system hyper reacts to harmless substances.
It’s more than not even being able to fight off something later.
I am so thankful New York Times finally gave back our our immune systems...
And just in time for Christmas too!
Man, that was a close call...
Thank you New York Slimes!
Electing Biden gave us awareness of immune system,....
Are you saying Biden reissued our immune systems...!
Wow, he must have already made a phone call to Xi, and maybe Hunter too, to get our immune systems back from China!
I always knew they would save us from US
US hegemony amd colonialism, white men, and Trump, and free markets!
I think Joe and Hunter deserve a high honorarium to the Chinese Politburo!
BINGO!
I was listening to a radio show this past week when they mention mask and early childhood development.
Babies spend their earliest days watching faces and lips in particular.
This is part of language learning and emotional learning.
What will be the effect on babies development if the only faces they ever see are those of their family only? What will the adults these babies become be like?
No one knows because this has never happened before.
We do know. This is one of the main problems associated with autism.

That’s a good point.
