This makes sense. I've always caught a flu or cold in the tube or in the office, usually from an infected parent. Last year many parents were enjoying a flu-less life while the schools were closed, only to catch it again a week after opening the schools again. I don't have kids, so last year, for the first time in my life, I didn't spend a single day sick.

Dueling anecdotes:

I live in a country where schools have stayed open and our 2 kids have been going to daycare normally throughout the whole pandemic.

Our kids have also been eerily free of colds/flus this winter, after the previous winter where it seemed like they had fevers weekly and so much snot they'd choke on it while asleep.

Which doesn't mean it's necessarily a good thing, as all these bugs will come back with a vengeance against immune systems.
