Being sick ~20 days per year was the norm for me before remote work (and using N95 masks after it ended). Some people are lucky, others are not. (well, "luck" actually encompasses many factors such as population density, presence/lack of children, mandatory office presence, proper infection countermeasures in public places (air filtering, aeration), and I assume sufficient sleep or not (the only time I did not get sick as often without masking was when I managed to sleep 8 hours a day for a few months))

Yea, Remote Work was a game changer for me. I used to get sick at about that rate, too when I worked in an office building, where I had to touch filthy germy doors all day walking from room to room, and were in constant close proximity to coworkers jammed together on shared desks.

Now that I'm isolated in my sterile home office and might go weeks without seeing someone outside of my family, I basically take no sick days.
