You’ve actually been provided a peer reviewed medical study that says your take on this is completely wrong. But I guess you need more, so here’s another. I suspect however, you will not actual be swayed by any medical evidence that contradicts your beliefs.
The BIG-LoVE (Utah Better Identification of Germs–Longitudinal Viral Epidemiology) study, conducted by the University of Utah School of Medicine, provides compelling evidence on this topic. This longitudinal study tracked viral infections in households over a year and found:Health News Florida+5UNews+5Infection Control Today+5 University of Utah Healthcare+1ScienceDaily+1
Notably, children under the age of five were identified as primary contributors to household illnesses. These young children were infected with respiratory viruses 50% of the year , which is twice as often as older children and adults. When infected, they were 1.5 times more likely to exhibit symptoms like fever and wheezing .University of Utah Healthcare+5Health News Florida+5WSKG+5 Health News Florida+2Infection Control Today+2WSKG+2

It was the way he was treating other people. Like @rrheisler said this has been going on for a little while across other parts of the forum. He also just happened to be a complete dick to me.

This is what happens when you try to get rid of the LR: the triathlon forum starts becoming the LR
5 months is a pretty long timeout.

He’s been a dick for a while. I’ve noticed it for at least a year.

I don’t think anyone should be banned unless they threaten someone with violence.
It’s just words.

6 months
5 months and 12 days. Rounds down to 5.
It’s okay - math is hard.

50% chance she DNS’
I hope she can pull it together for this one though. It’s better for all of us if we have all the ladies healthy heading into Kona.

He accused me recently of “making things up” and I promptly responded with the actual facts. It was a satisfying dunk to be sure.
