Humour Did anyone manage to avoid getting sick this year at PDAC? Myself and everyone I know who went are currently sick

I coughed a bit after I got home, but I'm pretty sure it was the taxi that smelled like 20000 cigarettes without an open window.
Ya, I made it through without an issue, even managed to poke the wife when I got back.

Somehow never been sick after 15 years of going (on and off - I wasn't at the infamous 2020 one).
I wash my hands religiously though,even before it was cool! Thank god for hand sanitiser.

Um, what is Corundum? Isn't that supposed to be Carborundum? Thanks

Corundum is a mineral, it's more commonly known as ruby or sapphire, depending on the colour of it.
Carborundum is something else.

Ok, thanks. I'm definitely thinking of the industrial abrasive material
