Why would that be weird? You hide away from germs, you don't get germs.



Yeah, we all knew that, dear, but thanks for stating the obvious. What is weird for a lot of us is that fact that we just now realized it and how during the time of this deadly pandemic our families have never been healthier.

Same!

Also sleeping later. Adjusted schedule. I’m thrilled to not have a preschooler waking me up at 6 am, she cruises to 730 now naturally. Ah...my pillow

It's mostly from kids not going to school IMO. I work in an elementary school and I literally have not been sick at all this year whereas typically I have at least one cold and maybe the flu most years.

Same here ..I had been thinking of taking my youngest to get tested for allergies because his nose was always dripping before this happened

Seriously I should have done this during the toddler years when they were sick all the time.
