The 'Common Cold' is transmitted by sneezing, coughing, etc..
For example.. Someone sneezes in a lift, viruses and sprayed out at an estimated speed of 40mph. Each virus has to find another target to attack before they are destroyed. The viruses travel through the nasal passage. The lining inside the nasal passage destroys most of the particles but one or two may escape. The single virus that may have escaped, has to trick the body in several different ways. The final and most important trick the virus has to achieve, is to trick the cell wall by pretending it is protein or a good particle. The cell wall lets the virus through, then the virus creates hundreds more virus particles creating influenza B.
There are only two cells in which can cure the virus upon thousands in the body. The body has to find those two cells in order to destroy the virus particles.
