My personal theory, based on personal observation, is that it does not “spread,” and no one “catches” it. The reason it appears that it is spreading is because a group of people are often exposed to the same environment. So how do we know what I am saying is true? Well, take a person who’s ill and expose them to healthy people in a healthy environment, ( not the other way around) and often they do not fall ill. I believe experiments have been done in animals and humans along the lines of what I just mentioned. While viruses/bacteria are certainly involved, they come at a later stage. If viruses/bacteria are implicated as the causative factor, then one ends up in a perplexing situation where one has to resort to ever more complex explanations of immunity and transmission.
As a general rule, a cold (or most acute diseases) is caused by trauma. In the case of the cold, it’s normally bad food; other causes are getting drenched, bad/contaminated air, radiation, etc.
Don’t be absurd. As eminent physicists have argued, influenza viruses fall from space; clusters aren’t due to mutual infection, but at simply having all been at the epicenter of a major fall together.
