“That goes against common sense.”
Not so fast.......
Dr Erickson was saying the lock down (over the last two months) was having an effect on the immune system not a life time of Social isolation.
We all have been expose to virus/etc building up our immune system throughout life, that is the whole ideal of vaccines.
However: We are expose to the Flu and Cold every year but we still catch it.
Did the exposure make us immune to the cold/flu?
Yes to that strain of cold/flu that we were infected with. The cold/flu mutates every year so we really never have immunity like chicken pots/ measles, and other items that have vaccines for.
The Covid-19 is a coronavirus just like the cold that mutates too. Covid-19 has higher infection rate then the flu or the cold. Covid-19 can easy kills old people and people with heath issues. We do not have a treatment for it.
I do not think there will be an immune build up for Covid-19 like Dr. Erickson thinks or a vaccine develop for it. There is no Vaccine for the Cold. The best bet for the world is for scientist develop a treatement.
I think we are very close to having a couple great treatments for Covid-19 now. I am seeing more and more reports of older people surviving the infections.
All is not lost.
FYI
A moving goalpost
But the fact is this continues to be overblown. Governor Desantis in Florida gave the following info today:
Orlando: Pop 2.2M — 6 in critical care, 18 in the hospital with CoVID
Miami area: Hot spot: 41% ICU usage, hospitals running under 50% capacity
Deaths down across the board — it appears that the peak was the first week in April — we are by and large beyond this, and ready to go back to “life as normal”. Not the “new” normal...
I wonder f the doctors who gave this briefing are getting the business from their colleagues?
Started at 30:00, Dr. Erickson said that some of their colleagues were being pressured to add COVID-19 to the cause of death for patients who did not have symptoms of COVID-19. When asked who was doing their pressuring, he suggested it was probably hospital administration.
I don’t doubt it — If you look at the NYC website there are a total of 10,000 deaths but 16,000 officially listed — they list the possible deaths — clearly demonstrates that there is a 50% increase in the number of deaths and they are not tested (+). From this we can glean (and there are similar numbers at each of the various board of health reporting sites) of similar presumptive diagnoses. Much to the dismay of the FEARPERS, the data suggest that 33% of the cases are NOT laboratory confirmed, but they continually use world odometer — which lists 54,000 deaths (see Romanesque perpetual cable). If this is 1/3 inflated, then we can surmise that the deathrata is probably somewhere in the 34,000 - 36,000 range. While I am not miming those deaths, it means that between the increase in the N as evidenced by antibody testing (Santa Clara, NYC, greater NY state and California) and timing with the first death being February 1 in CA suggesting the virus is well circulating by then, we can assume that the mortality rate CONITNUES TO PLUMMET, and the picture is coming into clearer relief.
This I not nearly as bad as advertised and our economic suicide is just that — self inflicted....
