Honest question - how fast do we think our immune systems degrade by not being face-to-face with the great unwashed masses? I find it hard to believe that my careful cultivated antibody reserves suddenly fall apart if I go a few weeks without getting breathed on by the cat ladies and the neck-beaded hipsters. But maybe this is like aerobic fitness where things just fall apart in a few days without repeated use. Seems like maybe I should hold this question in reserve if I ever need a topic for a doctoral thesis or something.
Fortunately for me, I still have two little germ factories in the house, so maybe there will be some baseline immunity to work with once it's time to go back into the world of booger-pickers and stink-palmers. To anyone else that requires this type of service, send a paper towel and a SASE to my home address. I'll wipe the towel over every door knob and toilet flusher in the house, and send it back your way. Should be a good booster for however much longer this stupidity lasts.
