I bet most people would freak out and kill themselves if they knew every human body contains bacteria and viruses. *shhhh* don’t tell them
Just think about the money we all use day in and day out. GERMS GERMS GERMS.
...every human body contains bacteria and viruses.

Not only that, but there are streams of bacteria and viruses that ride the jet stream and, presumably, fall out at random, everywhere.

Also, one major virus vector is ducks. This is a busy season on the flyway. One can assume they defecate en route. I live across the road from one of their major destinations. DH is down there daily to photograph the returnees.
For another freakout, my area has many small hog operations. We all know viruses that infect avian and swine hosts can combine, mutate and become new organisms.
We humans evolved on this planet and while viruses mutate and novel strains, some of them virulent, arise at various times, we have brains to help us cope by inventing treatments and ultimately, cures. In the long run, enough of us catch the disease and survive, creating herd immunity.
We developed immune systems for a reason.
But, yeah. Keep it on the down low or people will start squirting Lysol up their noses. Or worse.
Had a magic loogey smack me right in the eye...from a dude with MRSA....
I'm in the HC biz...
I can tell you the magic loogey story some time...
