‘There was an opportunity to stop this disease.’
how so...? exactly; no plain vanilla boilerplate...
The human immune system is affected positively and negatively by such things as injury, disease, family history and aging. How ever there is ‘’imprinting’’. In order for humans to develop an immunity to things we have to be exposed to such viruses and bacterial infections so the immune system can ‘’imprint’’ the data, so to speak, of the virus or pathogen and recognize it and develop and immunity. Doesn't always work but the human body is remarkably resilient. Hey, we managed to survive this long.
Identify the infected via quarantine.
Completely isolate them from the rest of society.
We did quarantine without the following isolation.
Complete failure.
Your immune system builds and strengthens through exposure. As you are not exposing yourself you are failing to gain immunity to new threats. Having fought previous Corona viruses helps fight off other ones.
Who are your expert health care professional telling you such nonsense. Exposure to pathogens builds immunity of we would get the same diseases repeatedly.
There are no “lockdown gains”. It’s a time shift device it does and cannot reduce the overall infections or deaths.
This headline is garbage
That’s a totally different argument from what your previous post was saying. You were saying that your immune system gets weaker during isolation from other human beings. There is zero evidence to support that. That’s not how the immune system works.
Exposure to pathogens does build immunity. Subsequent lack of exposure does nothing to erase that, nor does it do anything to weaken the non-specific components of the immune system. You could isolate for a week, a month, a year; makes no difference to your immune system as long as you’re properly taking care of yourself.
There is a good chance that the problem was NOT inherently the school openings, but a failure of social control within the classroom and school spaces of older (teen) school age kids.
“The younger students were more obedient and easier to control in a classroom setting,” Khatib said, “and had more respect for their teachers. Among high schoolers, there was a greater ability to understand. But it is in the nature of middle-school kids to rebel, not to obey teachers, not to wear masks or keep apart.”
No amount of health safety can hold up against a lack of enforcement of required discipline in the school setting.
Blame administrative failures, not inherently the mere school openings.
Here immunity
So we wouldn't overwhelm our medical system. Now it's about getting Presient Trump out of White House
“should have kept them open ,it would be over by now”
I’ve said the exact same thing here locally since the beginning. The ignits all point to South Korea and Taiwan for their low cases/deaths and their judicial mask-wearing, but they will ultimately have a rude awakening. Sweden is now approaching a zero death rate but the “experts” disagree over what that means. Go figure.
