Do We Know What We’re Doing?

     Disclaimer - For medical information a person should go to a source that knows what they’re talking about. This blog may not be one of those. 

     However, I’ve been thinking that we may be inadvertently creating a problem for ourselves. How? Today, everyone who has any sense, is, among other things, washing their hands more often than they’ve ever done before and using hand sanitizers every chance they get. Both of these actions are hopefully killing any COVID-19 germs that happen to be hanging around. 

     However, at the same time these actions are killing off millions of other germs that are there and maybe only hoping to give us a small cold or some other common affliction that we’ve learned to live with and don’t take especially seriously. 

     These ‘friendly’ germs are now wondering what they did to deserve this deadly onslaught. Their first reaction is to go into mutation mode. (You know, when things get tough, the tough mutate.) Which means that when we finally think we have COVID-19 on the run we’ll be left with new tougher strains of dozens of our old familiar ‘friends’, except with a new revengeful attitude. At least that’s how I think it will work.
