Mask. N95 or better. My wife and I never stopped, and she never gets sick despite being immunocompromised. I work in a place where illness is common due to the environment and I’ve been sick once in the last year, meanwhile all of my coworkers come in sick like twice a month. Apparently they’d rather be sick and miserable all the time than wear a mildly uncomfortable thing on their face.

Do ypu have kids? No masks, also barely ever got sick. With kids I'm sick 5 or 6 times a year. Could be the same for your coworkers.

My sweet friend with two childs is CONSTANTLY sick. My partner and I mostly WFH and have no kids and have gotten sick twice since 2020.

I do not have kids, and I don’t know about all of my coworkers, but I know the overwhelming majority of them do not have kids either.

My oldest just started Pre-K so we're now having a fresh plague circle the house for the second time this month. Hopefully within a year or so we'll have developed enough immunity to enough children's plagues to not get sick as frequently
