Why do more people get it around the time when it gets cold? I can tell from personal experience I get cold symptoms when i don’t dress properly when it’s getting colder, or if I spend too much time in a room with AC in the summer. But it’s caused by a virus. What does the temperature have to do with the cold virus?
Also, is the virus wasn’t present would it be possible for us to spend time in cold weather without getting sick?

I always thought we are more susceptible to colds when the weather is cold because our bodies are spending energy on staying warm and therefore have less energy to fight off infection. (A relative who is a doctor disagrees with me.)
