My wife, an RN, for most of her adult life is concerned about our future health problems with this shelter/cower in place.
Her concerns:
We could become like hot house plants or like ICU patients and lose a lot of our innate immunities with the restricted shelter/cower in place procedures.
Possibly, we might be harming our immune systems by not taking in the various new viruses and germs in the world where we live..
By not developing our own normal immunities to the new viruses/germs and those altered by time and our bodies, due to our shelter/cower in place.
When smallpox was going around when my dad was a young boy and his brother caught it, the solution was to put my dad in the same bed and exposed him to it. He caught it was sick for awhile and recovered and had an immunity when it came around again the next year.
The problem is that is not over and will never be over. In today’s world there is no way to protect everyone from a virus.
Let’s hope that there is a vaccination soon but it may take years to develop and distribute. Then we’ll be hiding in our basements from the next virus and the next virus and on and on.
