As an overseas tourist, the worst part was how air conditioning was so overused it turned every inside space into a refrigerator. I once almost fainted while boarding a subway because the station was like over 30C and the car was like 16C. Such extreme and sudden temperature were super stressful on the body. I always dressed in shorts and a tshirt and carried a scarf and sweater but still caught a cold very quickly.
You don't catch a cold because of temperature shifts.
At most you might be very, very slightly more vulnerable to infection, but the degree of vulnerability between that and normal levels is absurdly small on any real scale.
You caught a cold because viruses like close up contact with poor ventilation and an immune system that hasn't encountered the strain before.
Like, I get it, that's not the real point of what you said, but you could have been naked except for a good mask, and you wouldn't likely have caught the cold, but no amount of clothing without that mask would prevent it.
Oh yeah that's true. It still felt like my body was under too much stress for my immune system to work like usual. But who knows
