That's a fair question about getting it, so I would argue that recovering from a small amount is probably easier than recovering from a heavy splash. It's like with a hangover, why drink 3 bottles of wine when a glass will suffice? Sure you can build up good tolerance with the heavy drinking, but it probably isn't much fun.
You never quite know, I may have had it and not known, but I certainly don't make any song or dance about being sicker than ever before like some as I have not been sick. I mentioned being around sick, sneezy people a lot and I haven't got sick, but that doesn't mean I have not been hit with their particles. It is just that my body did not respond to them.
what sort of people are you guys hanging out with? people coughing & sneezing on you? that rarely happens in my everyday life, my nieces are young & are terrible at covering their mouths when coughing or sneezing but even they never do it on purpose or directly at me. if a virus was in the air it would get through the material of a mask & especially into your eyes. the best way to get over a sickness is by building up an immunity to it. you & i disagree on how we get disease but our experiences along with millions of others, households where one person has a cold but no one else gets it or work places shows that the immune system is the key
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
