That’s what immune systems are for. You get small doses of a germ. The body develops a defense. Sometimes the germs overpower the immune system but that is also nature. What we are doing now is destroying the body’s ability to fight off infections. This is not good for our future.

Needs repeating. I have expressed the same thought many times here.

Exactly. People don’t understand that there is no such thing as “having Covid” It is like being fat or having MRSA. It is not binary.

We ALL have fat on our bodies. We ALL have MRSA on our bodies.

Does “being fat” mean you have detectable fat on your body? Does it mean a BMI of 20, 30, 40????

Does “having MRSA” mean that you have a detectable amount on your skin? Having an itchy spot? Having a pencil sized abrasion? Losing an arm?

The same thing goes with COVID. Just because you have snippets of DNA in your nose that are detectable after 45 cycles of amplification, doesn’t necessarily mean you “have COVID”.

What if you got a bit of the virus in your body, it multiplied to double the amount and your immune system killed them all before you had a symptom? Did you “have COVID”?

What if the same scenario happened but while your immune system was killing it, for 2 hours your temperature raised by 1 degree, your breathing rate increased and your heart rate increased by 5 beats per minute? Did you “have COVID”?

What if the same scenario happened but you had mild cold symptoms before your immune system killed it? Did you “have COVID”?
