I think that one of the major reasons that all these new viruses that are supposedly going to kill us all is because all the younger generation has never been exposed to disease like were. When I was a kid we drank out of hoses and if something fell on the ground, we picked it up and dusted it off and ate it.

If a kid in the neighborhood got the mumps or the measles, our parents made sure we were also exposed because it was inevitable that at one point or other we would get it and it was much better to get it when your young than when your older. We all lived through it.

The present generation is a bunch of hand sanitizing germaphobes. They don’t have the same strong immune systems that we do because they were never exposed to anything.

Clearly if any of us seniors has a compromised immune system, then by all means take all possible precautions. For the rest of us continue to enjoy your life without fear.
