Is everyone sick or just me?

I cannot believe how many people I know that are physically ill. I know it's the time of year and the weather has a lot to do with it and maybe the lack of flu shots is a factor, but we should probably consider wearing masks and gloves to keep ourselves healthy. Our society scoffs at masks and little kids point and laugh but I'm tired of this cold I have and the fact that it's managed to make the rounds of practically everyone I know!
