Regardless of weather stay at home orders worked for COVID I can tell you one delightful side effect. The last time I was ill of any description was late Feb 2020, I had the worst cold/flu of my life that lasted 3 weeks, I’ve had nary a sniffle since. Usually I have 6/7 colds per year (summer and winter) but in the last 12 months - nothing. Seems very likely that is down to not seeing people, wearing a mask, washing hands etc.
- chrischen 6y agoDo you think it’s possible that normalization may cause a surge of new illnesses due to lack of normally developed immunities?
- pessimizer 6y agoIf fewer people caught colds/flus, maybe there are fewer mutations that resulted? It isn't as if flu/colds were having their normal spreads somewhere, and after quarantine the doors between former-quarantineland and normal-land will be thrown open, releasing a year of backlog.
