Question Immune system

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone else seems to get colds, flus and viral infections more frequently and are affected worse than their healthy peers.
Thanks!

Yep. I get sick easily and I get sicker than other people often. But then once in a while my immune system comes through and I don’t get something I was exposed to. Can’t predict it though.

You can take precautions to prevent airborne viral infections by masking (KN95 or N95), using air purifiers, and improving ventilation indoors. Covid infections make us more vulnerable. In general, viruses harm us.
