      Retired Elementary school teacher here. You are correct. After the first two years and horrible flu symptoms I was invulnerable for the next twenty. Also agree on preschool teachers being almost immortal.

        Shame Covid doesn’t work like that. You just get it 5 times a year because it’s a different strain, you didn’t become immune last time or you lost immunity after a couple of months. Minus 2 IQ points (on average) every time.

        And even the “normal” viruses like flu can cause problems for years.
