@stephenjudkins of course. like everything, it’s a statistical game, there’s lots of variation, in susceptibility, in exposure, etc. we can’t eliminate illness, but we can reduce it. 1/

@stephenjudkins we all know we will be exposed to everything, but it’s still not great to show up in close quarters with others when you know you have fresh symptoms of a particularly unpleasant flu. lots of judgment calls! (is it “just a cold”?) but it’s right that en flagrante circulation like that increases the likelihood of disease rather than mere exposure, and we are not wrong I think to take some effort to minimize that. /fin
