Original Note:
It is a myth that standing out in the cold can make you "sick" (ignoring physical injury like hypothermia). Cold weather increases the likelihood of illness due to staying indoors among other people. Exposure to the low temperature itself does not cause sickness. https://www.bupa.co.uk/newsroom/ourviews/cold-weather-illness https://www.heart.org/en/news/2021/12/17/can-the-cold-really-make-you-sick https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323431
