Knock, knock. How are you feeling lately? Have you made time for yourself recently? The reason I am asking this is that most days we experience complexity, urgency, and an overload of tasks and goals we want to reach. The guiding mantra behind this way of working and living is: “We need to perform at a constant rate and always give our best regardless of anything”.

This type of environment is the perfect place for many kinds of infectious organisms to develop because droplets can live longer and, consequently, spread more easily. Heaters usually pump dry air out, which provides a better medium for droplets to stay suspended in the air, creating a longer period of exposure for everyone sharing the same space. The “common cold”, therefore, is caused by a number of germs called viruses…
