Andy: Doing ok?
Peter: Brrr. I'm freezing.
Andy: Poor Peter. The medicine should help soon. Fevers often make us feel chilly.
Paige: So do thermostats set at 60 degrees, Mother!
Andy: Nonsense, Paige. It's his fever.
We always had the thermostat set at 60 when I was a child. By the time I was Paige’s age, I was quite used to it, and I had long since stopped wearing earmuffs as a theatrical attempt to get my parents to turn it up. We all had plenty of wool socks and sweaters, and we knew how to use them.
In Sweden the landlords MUST keep at least 68 (20C) in all appartments or you can complain. There are also some rules that it cant get too hot in summer. And 60 seems real cold inside…

So, Andy, if Paige is as healthy as a horse, then why is she shivering indoors?

And the colder you keep it, the healthier you are; germs live in warm invironments. 60 degrees, you’ll never have a cold!

60 degrees? Hmm, Andie’s turned it up since the last time I recall. I thought she kept around 30-40.

It’s one thing to keep the thermostats low during the summer, but during the winter it’s a dumb idea.

You set the thermostat for what makes you comfortable.
