- nickpp 2y agoI thought getting regularly infected with seasonal diseases keeps your immune system up-to-date against the pathogen mutations and avoids a rarer but more dangerous episode down the road. But I guess without a serious study my belief is hard to check & validate.
- sunaookami 2y agoIt's the opposite - regularly getting infected weakens your immune system. It's not something that constantly needs to be "trained".
- tharne 2y agoWhat we normalize is not stopping the world every time someone gets the sniffles.
- skeaker 2y agoSo you're the one passing the cold around. Please stop doing that! We all resent it.
- xboxnolifes 2y agoWhat we have normalized is forcing people to work while sick, so they can make everyone else in the office sick.
