    I have always gotten unwell every once in a while at work before the pandemic (bike shop), but now being acutely aware, keeping hands clean, little to no physical contact with others, not touching objects when you don’t need to, I end up not having even a bit of a cold since the end of March.

    My colleague from my last jobs notice the same with them.

    I think it’s largely down to being a bit more aware of how we get exposed to germs and thus end up being healthier.
