What ends up happening is we weaken our natural immune system. That system has taken hundreds of thousands of years to create. Every drug is too late for the emergence of a new illness. We will have a perilous future if we wait on mankind to keep us safe from every potential disease or illness. It is our duty to boost our immune system and then use alternatives like drugs and medications if our immune system fails. Too much sanitizing and cleanliness is a recipe for disaster. We may be creating far bigger problems for the future.
Call up the Smithfield employees that were forced to work less than 1 ft apart with no protective gear(unless you count beard nets) and tell them thank you for taking the hit to build up herd immunity. Maybe go visit and do your part in building up our collective immunity.
My kids and the rest of the family will not be taking that hit for you and others that share your logic.
And yes, meat processing plants are virtually Petri dishes.
