Swing dancing? So maybe you know about: Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five featuring Hilary Alexander? The bandleader is related by marriage to friends of mine. But I'm not dropping any names. Not only is their music amazing, but the bandleader and his wife are incredible swing dancers!Nah. It’s not an iron immune system here. Just that all the masking and distancing did its job against the common cold and the flu. I used to get both of those at least once a year. I worked with folks who would bring that crap to work rather than taking a day off. I also used to social swing dancing. Every October, when the kids were back to school and the weather was starting to change, there was a popular dance convention that would get me sick every year. Even if I wasn’t dancing with the kids, I was dancing with parents, teachers, and nurses.
Not getting cold or flu was a wonderful side effect of all this pandemic isolation and masking up.
Yeah, I DO NOT LIKE the fact that so many employers almost force their workers to come to work, sick or not. I actually got fired from a job because I called in sick with the flu. I should have known better! A co-worker had to come to work, in spite of the fact that she was running down the hall every five minutes. *I won't elaborate. You get the picture.*
And the weather thing? Another co-worker would get sick every year when summer changed to Autumn, even here in la-la land where, as you know, we don't HAVE seasons. *She was from Pittsburgh. They have SEASONS in Pittsburgh. We threatened to send her back.*
