I think people should have just lived their normal lives this past year and that would have kept their immune system in practice. I forced myself to go out in order to expose myself to normal life germs. I had to force myself because I don’t like people in general in normal times and have liked people even less this past year.
I just don’t think touching one’s face is a good idea under any circumstances. It is too easy to touch something just touched by a person who has a cold who just touched their nose a minute before you got to that shelf full of canned vegetables.
I don’t think we need extra revving of our immune systems—just normal maintenance revving, which is underappreciated and will, I believe, come back to bite people, who will, in the best case scenario, wonder why they are now getting four colds a year.
I’m not a germaphobe by any means. I probably don’t clean my cell phone enough. Face-touching brings out the Felix Unger in me, of which there is probably too little.
its getting to get the way for a lot of us....
