Answer 6

It is hard to say how many people die from the common cold as some deaths will go unreported I have found a few figures though to show how deadly the common cold can be.

Seasonal Influenza kills an estimated 500 000 people annually.

Rhinovirus kills an estimated 4 500 deaths in the US.

A lot of these deaths probably occur in either older people or those who suffer other medical conditions which mean they cannot cope with the virus as well.
