Well, one does not need to have initials behind his name to use common sense. So, what I do know from living 70+ years is, fear causes stress, and stress weakens the immune system. In this instance the saying "You attract what you fear" applies. So, I think those morgue freezer trucks will be coming to a hospital and state much closed to Y...O...U... than to me.

Kudos, that was a very clever reply post. Impressive! I agree that fear causes stress and stress causes decreased immunity. An OCASSIONAL fear would NOT decrease immunity, but constant stress would. Humans and other animals are known to engage in BOTH survival tactics of flight or fight. Fear can heighten the senses so that we are better able to make that decision - do I run or do I fight? So, the DEGREE of fear and the OBSERVATION of it are key issues in any situation.
I answered a post about the DEGREE of contagion of the Delta variant. That is like a question about DEGREE of FEAR or rational FEAR that one should have concerning the Delta variant. I knew that Delta was more contagious than the prior variants, but I could NOT quantify that degree or degree of FEAR. I did NOT believe that there is NO fear for Delta (rational fear). So, I used the example of freezer trucks to illustrate a high degree of seriousness or rational fear that should be accorded to something as deadly as the Delta variant. it is up to each individual to handle that seriousness in their own way. Each individual needs to decide how much that freezer truck knowledge stresses them. To solve a problem first you have to ACKNOWLEDGE that a problem exists. Good luck!
