A doctor has provided 1 answer
Outside of what?: People used to think that diseases were caused by miasmas that traveled through the air, but that was 150 years ago. Isn't it getting chilly in Colorado this time of year? It's not like arithmetic. If you go outside with a cold in warm weather, the warm doesn't cancel out the cold. Also, if you go outside with a cold in cold weather, 2 colds don't make a warm.
