Can you get a free vacation if you catch a cold?

I take it u mean vaccination?

NO, I really mean VACATION as in a holiday.

Why would u get a free vacation? That makes no sense?

You certainly can -- In Great Britain there's a famous facility called
The Common Cold Unit, where volunteers get to spend an all-expense
Paid vacation. The food, lodging, entertainment, and recreation are
All provided free. The catch is that volunteers have to catch a cold
While they're there, and submit to various experiments. Over 18,000
People have voluntarily been infected at this place since it opened in
The 1940s, advancing medical knowledge of the common cold.

Ah so it was a trick question. Can you link us to this facility's website?

Oh! I guess u can then! Haha x
