Germophobes

Thanks Terry

You can pay me now ... or pay me more later. — Mother Nature

There is a good chance that, after the coronavirus pandemic has passed, we will become a nation ... or even a world ... of germophobes ... no handshaking, no “kiss,  kiss,” universal face masks, no hugs, even fewer hook-ups? If this were to occur, we would have a lot less epidemics, pandemics and sick-outs.

Danger!

Because, when we DO get such a health crisis, it will be a doozy. It might even be universally fatal! We will not have built up defenses to the many germs and viruses that we have become immune to under our current more unsanitary conditions. I know it sounds counter-intuitive ... but it is surely true.
