Did you have a cold the past year? I did not. All because of the social distancing.
Turns out if you personally avoid people and crowds (social distancing) and if indoor places are closed there's fewer situations to get any virus.
Unless the virus comes on Amazon packages or through the air in the back yard.
Kids have been massively more sheltered too. Either by parents or because schools were literally closed.
It's a good thing that we are reopening the society by Autumn, so we can have a nice wave of colds, flu and COVID by people that didn't catch anything in 1 year. (As in, I worry a bit about what Autumn will bring).
Bubble boy meets bubble society.
- blub 5y agoI didn't back in 2020 during the most strict lockdowns, but afterwards sure, plenty of colds. And I hate to brag, but I have a (light) cold right now. :-) For the record, there was nothing special about those after-lockdown-colds compared to regular colds. Based on my own experience and that of other parents I know, I would say that we've sheltered our kids, but as soon as school was back on it was game over.
