Well, as much as I hate to say it, there is some truth in what you say. :-) I think it's the dumbest thing on Earth to have a culture in which everyone goes on vacation at the same time, but that's the way they do things. In reality it probably won't matter if you get sick, because in the town where *you* are vacation- ing there will be at least twenty doctors, all on vacation there themselves. :-)
