RSV cases are rising in the Southern States.
Check this article out:
Pay attention to this section:
There's another factor. Kids have not been exposed to seasonal viruses for more than a year.
"I think one thing is that we essentially sheltered a lot of these children during Covid," Combs said.
"So there's a theory that their immune systems didn't have the normal low-lying, routine level of exposure to the normal routine viruses like rhinovirus, so they weren't able to mount those kind of micro-responses to viruses and keep themselves ticking over," she added.
"Essentially it was like a bubble child, right? You've had them contained. You've had them quarantined ... and then all of a sudden we released these children. They're often in summer camps and we're even looking at going back to school. So all of a sudden these relatively naive immune systems that have kind of been resting on their laurels for the past 18 months are forced to confront the normal load of viruses and it's just that much harder to fight them."
Okay, so sheltering the kids and keeping them masked and in a sanitary environment is fucking with their immune system. Good to know. Better let them go out and socialize and eat dirt and bugs and do all that stuff that keeps their immune system strong....right!?!?!?!
Well, read on.
They go on and on about how people have to be more diligent about wearing masks, handwashing, etc.. So doing these things has caused immune systems to shut down....so keep doing these things!!!
An entire generation of sickly people.
Great.
