Before my kid started kindergarten, I “never got sick”. Then it was one damn thing after another for the next three years. I wonder whether people who never have kids and never experience that are somehow worse off in old age because of it. Or, maybe better off?

The last time I was sick was Covid, and yes, my by-then adult son gave it to me, because of course he did.

I used to be a never gets sick person. Worked in restaurants in a resort area, so I was constantly exposed to germs from all over the world.

Even my constant exposure to the school germ breading grounds via best friends kids never got me sick.

I made it through covid with only 2 positive tests, both while completely asymptomatic, and both times being clear after 48 hours. And I was serrious about it because I was living with an elderly parent.

At one point, early on, I shared a wine glass with the owner of the restaurant, not just once, 2-3 hours of sharing a cup. A couple days later, it turned out she had gotten covid from her BF. I never got it off od her.

Then I left the restaurant industry. Within 3 months, my immune system normalized, and I was catching colds of my my friends kids, nights out at packed bars, etc.
