Scofflaws promote herd immunity

Vincent J. Curtis

Our so-called experts continue to demonstrate how thin and lacking in experience that expertise is.  During the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, doctors found that open-air hospitals tended to have better outcomes.  They believed it was due to the better air circulation that rapidly dispersed harmful aerosols and to the disinfecting action of the sun.  The health benefits of being in open air and enjoying the sunshine haven’t been repealed just because today’s expert in epidemiology never learned about it.

It matters a great deal how many viruses a person was initially infected with to the progress of symptoms.  It matters whether the person was inoculated with a hundred, a thousand, or a million viruses initially.  A million virus inoculation can begin to produce a health crisis before the body’s immune system can detect and respond effectively.  With a hundred or a thousand virus inoculation, the virus must pass through several generations of multiplication in the body to reach the million virus threshold.  This time of negligible to modest health effects gives the body’s immune system the chance to detect and respond with the antibodies that kill the virus before a serious health crisis ensues.

Modest infection is how “herd immunity” develops, and is why scoffing at the “laws” outside in the sunshine interacting with other people while enjoying the pleasant breeze ought to be encouraged.

Until “herd immunity” is developed this virus won’t be overcome, and keeping people locked indoors and the economy shutdown prevents the development of “herd immunity.”
