Alt Text: Panel 1:
A witch and a man are at a bar, flirting. The witch says, “I’m not wearing any underwear…” The man holds a drink and looks intrigued.
Panel 2:
The man responds in a flirtatious way, “Then maybe we could go to my place…” He is still holding his drink.
Panel 3:
The man continues, “…So you don’t get a cold.”
Panel 4:
The man is in the process of sitting on the couch next to the witch, who is holding a warming bottle on her lap. On the TV, a show about witches is playing. The witch looks content, and the man appears satisfied with the cozy scene.
Nope, the relationship between cold weather and getting sick is that people are indoors more and in close contact. The germs spread more easily.
Well, at least some studies seem to agree with me. And even just anecdotally, I live in a country where it can get pretty cold. -20C is not uncommon, -30C with windchill is completely normal. It can be a matter of hours from a proper cold exposure to having a fever. I’ve had that happen to me as a kid. Now as an adult I’m pretty much immune to short bouts of cold (I could throw myself into a pile of snow in shorts and a t-shirt right now, it’s only -20C outside), but if I sleep in a 12C room all night, I WILL have a cold by the morning.
