    That would make it hard for a pathogen that attacks humans to thrive outdoors, but cold conditions make people congregate indoors a lot more, where they are nice and warm and cosy, and infections love that.

    Ah. TWO-EDGED SWORD! AARRGGHH! So pathogens are more comfy in warm environments and breed better and spread better? Bummer! Thank you for your reply Durdle! :)
