    that could be explained that we don't know what the long term effects are yet cuz it's still new and we're not in the long term yet

    I'm worried also about how other viruses like herpes, which is pretty widespread, is often said to be no big deal, but it is actually what causes mental problems like schitzphrenia and alsheimers. And those are common too. But no one cares about the people that have it. You don't die right away but it ruins your long term quality of life.

    This covid virus attacks the lining of your blood vessels. That's important. I bet it just reduces life expectancy.

      I think the lockdowns suck for social and economic reasons but it's good for our immune systems, because yeah when things open back up other viruses and diseases will spread again, but us humans haven't evolved that much past being cavemen yet and we were never meant to have so many social connections in the first lace. We'd be with our tribe and that's it. All thru the history of life on earth viruses have been destroying life, this is why skin evolved, to keep them out, but they can get in thru things like the mouth and nose. The less viruses we catch the better. Sure there is herd immunity but that just means having a virus and not dying from it, it's still better to not catch any in the first place.
