Agreed. In my youth I was a lot more reckless... let’s call it carefree or unconcerned about such things. My wife OTOH has always been a self proclaimed germophobe. So when we had kids, I adopted a lot of better practices in the name of domestic tranquility. But my younger days no-doubt helped train/strengthen my immune system. Of course I did have say with the kids. You have to let kids be kids. They play, they fall down, they get hurt, they get sick, and they recover. Funny to note that all my kids have been exposed to people who have tested positive for covid. Yet they have been tested multiple times and come up negative. Imagine that.
I agree with you.
I grew up with up with a father that stated, “ God made dirt, and dirt won’t hurt,” His other statement after anything falling on the ground, “3 seconds won’t hurt.”
We grew up on a farm. My husband did as well. We need to challenge our immune system so that we can survive the “hits”. I’m thankful that God gave us an immune system.
If it is never challenged, we cannot defend.
