Your 'inevitable' comment reminds me of the novice security mindset where something either Secure or it is Not Secure.

In the world of security, you grow up, leave behind the simple binary descriptions, and assess impact of event and threat you're defending against.

This applies to disease safety as well. It's not just 'inevitable' or 'preventable', but there is a difference between getting sick once a year and getting sick every month. Between working in a hospital and working from home. Between being sick by yourself and spreading it to your extended family.

There is a risk assessment to be done, and calculated measures to be taken.
