Cases reporting is low because people aren’t getting PCR anymore. Hospitalizations will lag. [/quote]
Hospitalizations and death rate is what really matters. Flu-like symptoms at home will always be around for susceptible individuals. Work to beef up your immunity if you want.[/quote]

How do you “beef up” your immunity?[/quote]

Staying locked at home. Not in taking sun (vitamin D). Consuming fast food and processed crap. Not doing exercise. Watching a LOT of tv, especially mainstream media hammering fear and paranoia non stop.

THATS EXACTLY HOW YOU BEEF UP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM[/quote]

And, what if we are doing those things?  You cannot beef up your immune system and stop covid based off just eating better and taking vitamin D.  Grow up.  [/quote]

Why don't you read articles about the benefits of vitamin D, sunshine, exercise, healthy food before dismissing it out of hand? Its not a "cure" for covid obviously, but a leading cause of covid mortality is obesity - so better exercise / not being overweight would be generally beneficial and increase survival odds. It probably would have made economic sense (to reduce hospitalization costs) if everyone could have been paid more to exercise during the pandemic.[/quote]

Vitamin d is important but you are looking for drama when that’s not why people are getting Covid.  You can be very healthy and get Covid. [/quote]

And the statistical likelihood of COVID being anything other than a weak flu or bad cold like experience is essentially zero if you control for your own health and don’t have some condition not of your own making. That’s the truth.

The pandemic is over. Cower in the corner if you want. The rest of humanity is moving on. [/quote]

There is no humanity with people like you.  Personally I don't want a flu or bad cold...I dont get why you would.[/quote]

So you’re going to wear a mask and face shield for the rest of your life so you don’t ever get a cold or the flu?  Impressive!  Let me know how that goes. [/quote]

Actually, it's going really well. My allergies are better too. This is the healthiest I have been in years. [/quote]

You’re probably less healthy than you think. If you’re not being exposed to all kinds of germs on a daily basis, you’re immune system is going to forget how to work. Good luck with that. [/quote]

[b]My virologist neighbor laughed when I told her your claim that the immune system is going to forget how to work. You must know something she doesn’t[/b]. [/quote]

Yeah, constantly exposing adult immune system to pathogens is not that productive.[/quote]

DP. This article is from May 2020. It absolutely makes sense that a few months, or even a couple of years, of shielding yourself from all respiratory viruses is not going to be a problem for an adult immune system. Whether this is true for someone who continued to do this for many years is another question, and I'm not sure we even have data to answer it. It certainly makes sense to assume that repeated exposures to respiratory viruses would strengthen someone's defenses to it, and that just like with vaccines, the protection once acquired wears off unless you are either re-exposed or re-vaccinated.[/quote]

Your immune system is still being taxed in a mask. There are other viruses, like stomach bugs, that are much more transmissable via surfaces. We've been hit with one despite masking for COVID. Same with other colds - we've gotten them despite being diligent about masking. [/quote]

Sure, but you are not building immunity to evolving respiratory viruses. [/quote]
