It's not just Covid. It's Dengue, West Nile, Zika, Chikungunya, Malaria, Marburg, Yellow Fever, Cholera, measles, mumps, chickenpox, quite possibly small pox, polio, RSV, SARS, HIV, AIDS, tuberculosis, chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, gardnerella, schistosomiasis, staphylococcus, streptococcus, MRSA, amoebiasis, multiple kinds of intestinal parasites, hook worm, round worms, lice, scabies, antifungal resistant ringworm - most recently migrant introduced in New York. And, Trypanosomiasis or Chagas disease (heart and esophageal disease), the parasitic infection cysticercosis (seizure disorders), and hepatitis B and C infection (hepatic cirrhosis). The incidence of some cancers (hepatocellular carcinoma, cervical cancer) in the future may also be affected by the prevalence of infections such as hepatitis B and C and human papillomavirus (HPV) in mobile populations. And there is always the lovely sexually spread, unattractive viral genital warts (condylomata accuminata). My children are NOT going to public schools and be exposed to this.
What an extremist!
