I know it is extreme thing to say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I fly a lot,and get exposed to a lot, I wash more for things like food poising or toxins then disease, for that you need to expose the body and let it learn how to fight!
You do know that the SARS, MERS and Spanish FLU killed those that had the so called strongest immune systems (healthy people). It was people's own body's immune system overreacting and attacking/fighting one's won body to a foreign pathogen that killed them and those that survive makes people feel awful for weeks after.
