The only thing the pandemic has taught me is that other people were getting me sick (at work and/or gym, most likely).

I have not been sick with any respiratory sickness (even common cold) since the beginning of COVID, mostly due to going remote.

I bet you have learned more than one thing from the pandemic.

Aren’t we the eternal optimist today! Ah, to have that kind of faith in humanity again.

Shocker- humans are the primary vector for human pathogens.

So, yes, isolation from humans (and animals) will drastically reduce your exposure to pathogens. And probably, joy, fulfilment, and worthwhile experiences as well.

But, you’re not wrong. And for many people, going into work is a bullshit requirement. Remote work FTW.
