Would covid affected less lives if more regulations were in place before the pandamic?

So in a certain country 4 months before covid i caught a horrible infection at the airport. My flight was delayed so i was stuck with many people for 5 hours. It was really crowded. What struck me there was zero hygine. Everyone were coughing without a mask. Spitting in the bin. Once i arrived to my destination i fell ill. I never had such an infection. I was in bed for 8 days. Just sleeping. Could not move. Fever. I contacted that countrys airport and begged them to added some regulations by forcing everyone to wear a mask at airport. And add some precautions because i was positive if someone old caught that infection they would never have survived. The airport officials ignored me then. 4 months later covid happened

I once 'caught' flu in 2014. It was horrific. I was off work for a month and it probably took me 3 months to fully recover. There was no particular novelty about covid.

Except, I don't believe I caught anything. Or if I did catch anything, if it was viral, the virus was along for the ride.

People get sick when their immune systems are low. And paradoxically, sickness is the body's healing and cleansing mechanism.

I didn't get covid once. I was working throughout it. I was dealing with the general public. I paid little heed to the rules and regulations. I didn't wear a face-nappy, except at the very start. I didn't get a quackzine.

No covid.

We need to acceptsickness is part of the human condition. To think otherwise is pathological. Our whole bodies are covered and littered in so called 'germs'. We have trillions all over our bodies I believe.

But most importantly, we need to cultivate our immune systems. That requires frequent cardiovascular exercise. Socialising. Sun/vitamin D exposure. Mixing with people and so called 'germs'. Not being overweight. And having a reflective practice/meditation. The exact opposite of what was suggested during the alleged pandemic.

All that needed to happen during the so called pandemic, was that they should have told all employers, mandate it in fact, that every worker do 30 mins of cardio exercise a day.

Really, the whole of society should have been restructured for a better work life balance. But hey ho, that requires too much imagination.

Yes, if they were stricter about regulations, and kept shutdowns going on longer, covid would not have been the problem it was and they honestly probably should have gone at it harder. Countries who had stricter regulations than the US were covid-free within the first year of the pandemic.
