I've always regarded Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays to be great 
germ-swaps, in which people transmit germs they've become immune to, but 
visiting friends and families from other places have not; sort of like measles 
and the Eskimos. 
That's one reason why I start taking extra silver before, during, and after 
distant visitors.
It's worked here for my family, although this next week will be a test as my 
son and grandson are coming down from Maine with the last vestiges of a local 
cold.

Be well,
Léna
