> It’s a particularly nasty flu.
No doubt, but for the majority it is recoverable.
> You’re well advised to train your immune system before encountering the first time with vaccination.
I believe that it's effectiveness is greatly reduced now. The available vaccine was for the alpha variant. From what I remember reading, it essentially no longer reduces the probability of you getting COVID at all, meaning your immune system is essentially unprepared (and hence can't defend against it).
> It also makes sense to reduce the dangers of infection (not just of Covid), [..]
Somewhat, but then you never end up building natural immunity to anything. You have those isolated tribes that would likely get killed off by the common cold if it was ever introduced to them.
> How restricting you find measures and how much you want to prevent getting infected is a very personal thing.
It is a personal thing, but it was also an idea inflicted on people. This was not generally well practised before, nor does it particularly have any benefit done in small (read one) isolated pockets. I believe we have all now seen people who are many-times vaccinated, wear multiples masks, avoid any contact with people, and yet are otherwise perfectly healthy.
> Hand hygiene and air hygiene for new buildings should be a no-brainer though.
Even prior to COVID, I wish more consideration was put in place for air quality. Bin the ionizers and get decent filters in place that reduce carbon dioxide filters.
