As the dad of a 6 y/o… I envy your 1-2 colds per year, it’s more like 1-3 a month for me. I WFH and never go to crowded spaces.

- darkwizard42 3y agoYeah, I empathize with that... kids bring home everything. I think actually in your case it makes even LESS sense to worry about washing hands in public places because your kid probably gives you so many of the latest germs you are probably equipped to fight off anything you might get in public...
- hulitu 3y ago> I WFH and never go to crowded spaces. Maybe you should from time to time. Your immunity cannot be trained without real world bacteria and viruses. And kindergartens are real viruses and bacteria incubators.
- _yb2s 3y agoSo you are saying 3 colds a month isn’t enough? I should modify my lifestyle with the expressed purpose of getting more? For my health?!?
- pintxo 3y agoDidn’t Covid tell us there is no such thing as training our immune system?
- avery17 3y agoNo... It didn't. It told us things arent black and white but everyone seems to have just picked a color and died on that hill instead of considering that there might actually be nuance.
- pintxo 3y agoAre you sure? I recall that there was lots of debate on the topic of „training“ an immune system. And the conclusion was that such a thing does not (scientifically observed) exist. If it does, I‘d actually be interested in the biology behind it.
