Reply to comment by elchurro223 in A new study focuses on the crucial question of why people are more vulnerable to catching colds during the months of winter. The answer hinges on an evolved defense system, innate to the human nose, that is numbed by frigid temperatures. by BoredMamajamma

In general more people tend to stay inside. I'm not out running when it's 30* I'll do do my running when I'm at the gym. Instead of gym then run the neighborhood when I get home in warm weather. I'll tend to stay inside the bar/restaurant instead of out on the patios when it's freezing cold. Same with work. Instead of having the bay doors open and kind of wondering around outside, all the shop doors will be closed and me and my coworkers generally stay inside so we're closer together when talking, etc.

I don't buy it. In the winter I will stay at home alone much more and in the summer I will spend time in parks, going to parties and concerts. But even in my isolation I am kinda sick all winter, every winter.

Of course they are. Well it depends on your mood though. We can't just argue something we can't control.

Please recognize that your habits and behavior changes do not necessarily apply to everyone else. And that one is typically not very good at gauging what others do.

But I assume you go to work in the winter too? And get groceries, etc? Places where you meet other people…

Same here. Well but I prefer more on winter season, it so peaceful for me. But summer is also great too.
