Why is there a “cold and flu” season?

964 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?

People are inside/enclosed spaces more, places are sealed up more so air doesn’t recirculate as quickly, germs stick to coats, and scarfs and gloves, etc.
