Lockdown and social distancing could make our immune system weaker, says scientist

People are not exposed to germs and so do not develop defences that could protect them against future pandemics, Oxford epidemiologist warns

Prolonged periods of lockdown cocooning the public from germs could leave people dangerously vulnerable to new viruses, a leading epidemiologist has warned.

Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology at the University of Oxford, fears intense social distancing could actually weaken immune systems because people are not exposed to germs and so do not develop defences that could protect them against future pandemics.

There was some other research that said that immunity faded within two months and before that another that herd immunity was a myth as the virus mutates so quickly.

Really there is a differing scientific opinion for every argument; I mean I'm a big fan of diversity of opinion but it looks to me like nobody has a clue what to do.
