It might not be just her immune system. It does seem like people are getting sick more often. While it seems that immune systems are weaker, it turns out that’s not the case because people are recovering from what they get. The issue, according to this and some other articles we’ve seen online lately, is that is isn’t about people. It’s the viruses going crazy since all of us are back out, about, and relaxing from the precautions we took during the pandemic. And since people weren’t exposed, your immune system has to learn the good guys from the bad guys all over again.
Face it, you know you aren’t as diligent as you once were when it comes to disease prevention. The only time the parronts wear masks anymore is to the doctor’s office, because that’s the only place that requires it. And while they still wash hands, they aren’t as good as not touching their face or washing them as frequently as they used to three years ago. Add to that the fact that viruses are as into self preservation as we are, and you have a tripledemic, along with Norovirus and another microscopic contaminant running wild in a world. Just as people had to learn to interact, so too does your immune system, apparently.
So hang in there, mommy! Your immune system will learn to fight off those viruses just like you learned how to work in a cubicle without real walls and people around you all day. Ok, hopefully it will adjust faster than you did to that. Introverts don’t go back out into the world easily. Here’s hoping your immune system does. I guess we’ll see.
That’s all today. Take care, and have a great rest of the week.
Luv,
