Ah yes, if anecdotal evidence serves as your "proof," I can certainly see where you're coming from.
People get sick. People die. Environment plays a role. Genetics plays a role. Sometimes, Greyhound busses play a role. If you understand the risks and reasonably try to mitigate those risks, you're doing better than most people. But sometimes we overestimate both the risks and the efficacy of our mitigation strategies.
