Still feeling quite sick today and a bit worse. Have lost my voice entirely 😢 It’s not Covid-19 though thankfully 🤞 – But I’m really really quite angry. 🤬 Why? 🤔 Because…
- I don’t go anywhere.
- For the past couple of years I’ve deliberately avoided humans I don’t know or trust, crowded places, indoors with recycled air, public transport, etc.
- I even took an entire season off of Table-Tennis because I wasn’t sure of the health practices of the hall, the people that play there and whether there was enough “open air”.
Then one day my child comes home from school feeling “unwell”. She tells her mother she has a sore throat and points t her throat. But she gets over it pretty quickly. Two days maybe?
Then my wife comes down with something on Saturday.
Then I start feeling unwell, sore throat, Sunday.
Anyone that knows me and has ever heard me exclaim how selfish humans are can hopefully empathize with how I feel right now. I’m so fucking angry, you can’t escape stupidity and selfishness 🤦♂️ 🤬
what does becoming sick have to do with selfishness or stupidity?
you have an immune system for a reason. when you isolate like you do your immune system weakens. after a lack of exposure to community pathogens your immune system falls back to your tuned antibody instructions (basic immune response vs targeted response from learned immunity) this ultimately makes it tougher to fight off whatever comes your way.
increase your intake of zinc, c, and d3/k2. increase your hydration.
unless you plan on living by yourself for your life in a cave in guatemala or some shit you’re going to need to expose yourself to microbes so when you do catch a bug your immune system is better equipped.
before you say it, no im not an internet doctor. years of medical training and saving lives on the ground during and prior to wuhan.
@prologic@twtxt.net ice blocks in hell before i deny anyone a feeling regardless of how delusional i may perceive it.
but how does one logically chastise another human being for being human? we all carry pathogens and microbes. evolution has given us the ability to adapt over time. without it you’d drop dead from a mild cold.
@prologic@twtxt.net then you deal with the privacy concerns of contact tracing.
@prologic@twtxt.net im theorizing we’ve got another 10 years as a species. we’ve gone and fucked everything up. nature is furious. rightfully so.
one could ponder the idea that if we weren’t so population-dense life could be more sustainable.
but like you said. humans are stupid and selfish. im not excluded from that blanket statement.
