My personal thoughts and opinions concerning this virus are,
First, we cannot stay isolated and sheltered forever.
This shelter at home and hide from the virus strategy is untenable in the long run. America’s vast wealth has sustained us for these several months but there has been a cost and it cannot continue.
Second, the longer we shelter the worse will be our recovery.
I understand that I am not a doctor, but I am convinced that the longer we isolate from others, the weaker our immune systems become. Sooner or later we will be forced out of our homes and from behind our masks and when the day comes, we will be more vulnerable than ever to colds, flu and illnesses we never dreamed of making us sick before. No amount of vitamin c and other immunity enhancers can take the place of our body’s own immunity defenses. They become compromised by hyper-cleanliness. When we come out of this shelter mode, we are likely to see a spike in illness and death from those common things we used to brush aside.
Third, A vaccine is not our enemy.
Thank God for vaccines that protect us from smallpox, polio, tuberculosis and etc. I am thankful for the medical expertise of those who have created these vaccines and pray for a quick and effective vaccine for COVID-19. I do not believe, however, that such should be mandatory. Those who choose to be vaccinated will be, effectively protected. They cannot be harmed by those who choose not to be vaccinated. The only one at risk is the one who has elected not to be vaccinated. A greater risk, in my opinion, is the issue of personal liberty.
