I’m not conflating the reports regarding children and allergies.That is categorically not true. Your immune system is not weakened by isolation, you are conflating reports of children who are isolated having more allergies to adults. Your immune system has a memory, everything you have been exposed to in the past it remembers.
Age, chronic diseases (diabetes, depression, cancer, obesity etc,) lack of sleep, some medications all lower your immune system.
I’m not saying your immune system will not remember what it’s been exposed to in the past. It will. I’m saying that your immune system is currently being shielded from the world and not being exposed to anything new. There will be an overwhelming intolerance to new bacteria and strains of old that nobody has been exposed to and thus not built any immunity to.
