Now try it with kids or a partner who works in health care. Personally I was quite strict like you, but had it a couple of times due to external factors becoming internal factors.
I won't pretend that luck wasn't a big factor, but my wife worked at a senior living facility and I managed to avoid catching it. Hell my wife even caught it, but she moved into the guest room and we just treated it like a clean room
My wife is an ER nurse and I never got it. Funny thing is she didn't get it until she was in the hospital getting her gall bladder out. We also had two kids in elementary at the time, and they never got it either.
Family of four here, 3 of us got it for the first time this past weekend. My wife still hasn't had it.
I work in childcare so it was inevitable for me lol. I managed to go a whole 3 years though but caught it a month ago lmao
