Have any studies been completed yet on immune system efficiency/suppression after covid restrictions (masks, hand sanitizer etc) ?

In Australia we were very lucky with the COVID situation. And purely annecdotal, but I know many people who haven't been sick at all during the pandemic. But as we approach winter here and perhaps no longer hand sanitize appropriately, many of these people are becoming "the most unwell [they] have been in years".




I don't think it works that way. Your kids might develop some new allergies if you sanitize them too much, but just rub some dirt on your face or eat sauerkraut or something, it'll work out.


protip: shower once a month to train your immune system during lockdown
