Paris & sickness

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone relate since I have heard from another expat “my first year here I got sick so many times I lost count”

I have recently arrived in Paris and in the last 5 months I broke my own record of how often I got sick (flus & colds)

Yes, I do know - moving is stressful, our immune system goes rock bottom - that was already expected.

I also do know it is winter and ppl get normally sick.

However I was expat in Copenhagen - same process, arrived in winter. My years spent there were impressive on how I would simply never get sick ( and my immune system is not the greatest to be fairly honest)

So I started wondering , is there sth special in the city ? More ppl? More virus being spread? What the heck happens here ?

I still find it surprising how ppl simply do not work from home (if they can) when they are sick.

The amount of colleagues showing up to work sneezing, coughing and blowing their noses makes me wonder why the hell ppl think they should be at work? We have been through a pandemic, what have we learned from there ?

Anyone relates to it? Did you also get absurdly sick when you arrived ?

Thanks !
