Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?

I think that the real wonderment is that, even though we know the way virusses are distributed. And that social distancing is adamant in preventing that distribution, we simple tend to ignore this and spreading that shit like crazy.

That weird behaviour costs our economy millions.

That “weird behavior” of close, social cooperation is why we’re the apex predators of this planet, for better or worse.

  Well in that era we were blissfully unaware of the cause of disease, so it wasn’t that weird.

    Sure, but you unfortunately can’t just toss out millions of years of evolutionary programming just because it’s no longer convenient. Hence, extinction is a thing.
