and exercise well. But I sure didn't avoid contact like we're doing now. I took public transit, shared food, met a lot of people with my side hustle, etc.

And if life ever gets back to normal, I'll probably do all that again. I'm not to the Dwight level of seeking out others' germs (I don't touch anything including buttons in public places if I can help it), but I do notice that teachers and those who take public transit generally get sick early on, and then have a better immunity when sickness comes around again. I haven't caught the flu the last few years it went around the office, for instance. I attribute that to being lightly exposed to various contagions on the buses and trains.
