Just ask any current or former preschool teacher of very young children.
Many, many moons ago, when I worked as a preschool teacher, we jokingly called it recycled flu. Starting about late september the kids would get it, usually from an older school age sib, bring it school, give it to everyone, get over it, everyone would be fine for about 6 weeks, and then it would start over again. Often lasted until about May.
Fortunately, we all manged to get through it and have several months where we could all enjoy the warmer months.
