I understand that being in crowds, especially from an early age, helps to build immunity.

(and this includes public > transit) Do public health service officers and doctors at the CDC really think that crowd events improve the public health? I can well imagine, however, that they don't think too much about such things because "subconsciously" they know it would not be good for their personal wellbeing. Maybe we need a "safe crowding" campaign, like "safe sex": When you go in a crowd, wear a full-body rubber suit and carry your own oxygen tanks to breathe. I myself would be far less queasy about being in a crowd if I was breathing air from my own oxygen tanks. Unspeakable topics. \brad mccormick > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad McCormick, Ed.D.
