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?

The cold is a virus, there are lots of “common cold” viruses. Each one is a little variaton of the main, like everyone is little different than the others. That is why there is not a solution for the common cold, what you take when you have a cold is something to lessen the simptons and discomfort of the cold, it really does not “cure” the cold.
Now, the viruses, they support cold better than heat, so there are more viruses in the wild. Also when it’s cold outside people thend to be more inside, in close contact with one another in rooms with less opened windows (to maintain the heat) so it’s easer for the viruses to jump from one human to another.
