Quickies: The Anti-Lockdown Position
I’ve been against this “social distancing / stay home” BS since it first began. My chief reason is simple: Viruses don’t go away. A virus that’s in circulation will eventually infect everyone on Earth...well, everyone who doesn’t have the grace to die of something else first. This is because viruses are not truly alive in the sense used by life scientists, and therefore cannot go “extinct.”
So once a virus capable of infecting the human body is out there, we’re all fated to get it. If it’s a very nasty one, some will die of it. Yet mark this: far more deaths are due to bacterial diseases, against which there are numerous forms of treatment and immunization, than to viruses. Why this should be, I cannot say, and I don’t know if anyone can. Still, the facts are as they are.
But that’s all just recapitulation. This morning I have in mind something a physician told me years ago, when I was moderately ill with something infectious. His advice? Stay outdoors as much as possible.
I was puzzled by his recommendation and asked for an explanation. He smiled and said “It’s virtually impossible to stay sick outdoors. You’re continuously cleaning your body with fresh air. It’s a better purgative than anything your pharmacist has in stock.”
That was more than thirty years ago. I’ve taken his advice since then...and ever since, no infectious disease has troubled me for more than a day.
Now, I’d imagine that there are circumstances where “stay outdoors” isn’t the course to follow. Los Angeles or London during peak smog season, perhaps. But for most First Worlders, it seems a wise move, for the reasons my long-ago doctor gave me. And that implies that the whole “lockdown” regime is actually a measure antithetical to the health of those who follow it.
It’s become clear that Fauci’s Fools have been lying through their teeth this whole time, both about the Wuhan Virus’s danger to us and about what we ought to do in the face of it. Would they have an interest in getting us sick and keeping us that way? At this point I’m disinclined to discount the notion out of hand. What about you, Gentle Reader?
