The explosion of regulations means a lot more time spent being sedentary at desks instead of doing physical work. For sole propieters and small business especially this adds health damaging stress.

Who cares? Everything so far is guesswork. The experts really don't know much. What we have been told is not consistent. Too many conflicts of interest.

Meanwhile, how about we revert to what is known to work in previous epidemics? Everything that promotes a strong immune system. Sanitation, sunshine, exercise, diet, fresh air/ventilation. There are no side effects from these. Even if you do get sick, your chances of having only mild symptoms are increased.

Ultimately, we will either gain herd immunity--best accomplished over summer with sunshine and fresh food to increase survival--or this virus will mutate in so many ways that it can no longer be contained or enough vaccines formulated. Hopefully, it will just burn itself out.

A more serious risk if the pandemics that will follow. Man's relationship with his body and nature has become so distorted that opportunistic diseases are appearing more frequently. Much is due to modern agricultural methods.

Formerly, the mortality rate was due to lack of sanitation (plumbing, etc.) and injuries if one survived early childhood. Now, it is diseases related to diet and lifestyle. The former have largely been eliminated, whole the latter increased.
