Now that spring is here, toddler parents are basking in the feeling that the worst of the virus battle is behind them. But just wait until the first winter of puberty comes.
With the apple trees there is also a delicate hope that the crib viruses have really had enough. It’s a bit boring when there are no more sniffy-nosed toddlers sitting on their laps waving at the camera in the video conference tiles, but the parents who have just survived their first daycare winter should be grateful that all the Rhino- , enteroviruses and noroviruses, which defeat strepto-, staphylo- and other cocci of the spring warmth. And then the prospect that it will never be as bad as it was in the very first year of the crèche. Liberating!
