Why wouldn't this be true for older people too? In the case we should encourage everyone to go to work sick.

It reminds me of something from The Office;

>Dwight K. Schrute: The worst thing you can do for your immune system is to coddle it. They need to fight their own battles. If Sabre really cared about our well-being, they would set up hand de-sanitizing stations. A simple bowl at every juncture filled with dirt, vomit, fecal matter...

Well the immune system does change over development, but still it's a hot take. I don't think it's 100% incorrect, but it is going to vary wildly by the person, their current state, the exact disease, etc. In ways we don't even fully understand yet. It's also wrong to expose others to infection unnecessarily without their consent obviously, even if it would have positive health consequences long term.

But yeah, that quote from The Office is pretty hilarious, thanks for sharing!
