Three times per year all Israelite men are to go to the Temple for Hag HaMatzah, Shavuot, and Sukkot. (Exo 23:14-17) Unfortunately, Israelite men are scattered around the world and there's no Temple to go to.
The feasts of ascent serve multiple purposes: worship, census, community, and much more. Could they also have served to boost national immunity to disease?

We had a very similar thought a few years ago, and are actually experiencing a bit of it each year in Jerusalem at the feasts.
Seems like we should really think positively about the "germ sharing".
