That’s the time your sickness worsens. Very lethal pathogens, like the bubonic plague bacterium, can overwhelm this initial response and cause death very quickly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a5f7c4e6f2e193dd9b2de1/1585292836847-M65MZT3GW3YOVGQ1SYT0/HRVvTempsHumid.jpg Blog - Covid-19: How Not to Get Sick and Protect Others The relationship between cold weather and humidity and human rhinovirus (common cold) infections. Notice that cases spike not only when it’s cold, but during sharp changes in temperature and low humidity. Notably, low humidity in the environment dries out the mucosa and leaves the epithelium more vulnerable to infection, while excessive mucus stimulated by the cold contaminates close quarters and infects others.
