Just two years ago we laughed at germaphobes behind their backs - or at least felt sorry for them - weirdos who were afraid to touch anything or shake hands.
Now almost everybody is acting like a weirdo germaphobe.
What happened? Any chance some people figured out how to make a zillion dollars by turning the population into germaphobes and hypochondriacs?
Is it just me or has the whole world gone completely nuts?
The sick thing is the masks promoted the spread of germs. warm moist cloth kept on face for hours at a time perfect for keeping vires alive long enough to inhale or have someone adjust the mask making it easier to catch through finger mouth nose contact.
My twin daughters almost died of RSV when they were babies 25 years ago.
One of them got a brain injury and the other had/has terrible asthma.
People thought I was over-reacting when I didn’t want them exposed to colds or flu. Parents would send their sick kids to school or church, and then my kids would get really sick.
I would have friends come over to our house with their kids. I would notice the snotty and our friends would say it was no big deal, it’s just a cold.
Before they exposed my kid, couldn’t they have asked me. They didn’t care that my daughter would have to have nebulizer treatments every few hours for 3 weeks for every simple cold.
Now, those same people are freaked out about Covid. I have little sympathy for them.
At least, my daughter with asthma hasn’t been sick much since Covid. She’s hoping after Covid, people will work at home when they are sick and wear masks when they are sick.
