[QUOTE="zand, post: 2240070, member: 85197"] Are we making too much of this? I don't believe so. But I would ask do we make enough of the common cold and normal viruses? Ok most people would get over these without any problem. But is that ok? Shouldn't we always protect the weak whose immunity may not be as strong as ours for whatever reason? My son was born prematurely. His immune system wasn't brilliant. When he had a cold I kept him away from toddler group to protect others. Most mums just continued to take their children out and about and didn't think of those who would be very poorly if they caught it. I for one will be more careful not to spread colds from now on. Thanks to COVID19 I am now more aware of those with cystic fibrosis and COPD etc. I wouldn't want to inflict breathing difficulties onto anyone else because of my thoughtlessness. As an asthmatic I have suffered at the hands of smokers (vapers are worse for me) walking down the street. I can't imagine what it would be like for those worse off than me. [/QUOTE]
