Why is there a “cold and flu” season?

966 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?

It’s most likely just from people being in closer proximity to each other and staying indoors more when the weather is colder. Close proximity means the viruses can spread more easily and faster
