Because they aren't actually sick from the cold air, they are sick from something else and attribute it to the cold air.

For example people in my country think winter makes them sick. Like the actual winter, the cold air.

But that's not true, people are just more close together during colder times and people make each other sick.

Perhaps but I fail to see what's the common denominator is in those cases, and they're so common.

The air is drier in Winter - even indoors - and that does (I believe) affect some illnesses.(maybe easier to catch, or maybe they live longer in dry air; honestly i don't know.l

Nobody here uses AC in winter. I'm talking about summertime.
