I know that if i felt sick,or feeling "off" but knew i was immune to noro or anything else for that matter i would still be afraid because of the way i am feeling, theres no changing that with immunity. Also, there would be that thought in my mind what if im really not immune and the test was wrong?..theres always gonna be some kind of worry. Being immune wouldn't change anything, not for me anyway
I agree with this. It might make me feel better for a while, but not in the long run. The fear is still irrational to beging with, so I think my mind would still find a way to worry.
