This.  The good news is that DC is developing a solid immune system, which eventually will help reduce illnesses.  [/quote]

why do people keep repeating this?  repeated viral illness does not strengthen your immune system or reduce illnesss

Why do people keep repeating that repeated viral illness will strengthen the immune system of their babies or toddlers?  Because they do not have any options.  These parents have to work, they have to leave their kids in daycare. Can they say that the place they put their children to get care actually makes them sick?   What can they do?  Not everyone can stay at home and take care of their children. [/quote]

we can all acknowledge that childcare is needed (yes i work full time) and also acknowledge that repeated viral infections aren't helpful to anyone and actually bad long term.  we should instead be advocating for better ventilation, better sick leave policies so parents don't have to send their kids back while sick (and then create the spread which means kids are sick 90% of the time), and masks...

or we can just lie and say it's secretly good to be sick all the time[/quote]
