The truth is that the Wuhan-Coronavirus was nowhere near as deadly or contageous as initially feared. Nevertheless, the draconian measures to “flatten the curve” have still not been fully retracted and some politicians are even doibling down and adding pointless new restrictions, at exactly the wrong time.
Right now (in the summer) is the best time to get exposed to the virus and build immunity, if you haven’t already been exposed during the last nine months anyway. Having to fight Sars-Cov2/Covid-19 in addition to the seasonal influenza in fall or winter, when the natural conditions are more favorable to a virus than in the summer, presents a substantially bigger challenge for the immune system.
Meanwhile, mainstream media is preoccupied with instilling fear of a “second wave.” The irony is that preventing exposure now (by keeping up distancing etc), could make the ominous “second wave” a self-fulfilling prophecy. The best approach right now is to take a look at the actual numbers and relax.
