Why is there a “cold and flu” season?

967 views

It is my understanding that being cold doesn’t make us sicker (aside from pneumonia) so why is there actually a season where illnesses like the common cold and flu spread faster? Shouldn’t people get sick at the same rate all year?

In addition to what others have said, Uv light kills germs. It’s like a natural disinfectant. In winter there is less uv light so it’s easier for germs to spread.
