We bought antibacterial soap that “kills 99.9% of germs,” took antibiotics at the first sign of a cold, and strived for absolute sterility.

Most of us are familiar with this situation: from Monday to Friday you work at the limit of your capabilities, solve crisis issues, do not get enough sleep and drink liters of coffee.
