Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.
