No, hypothermia is not a virus; it is a medical condition that occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, resulting in a dangerous drop in body temperature. This can happen due to prolonged exposure to cold environments, wet conditions, or inadequate clothing. While viruses can cause illnesses that may lead to a weakened state, hypothermia itself is related to environmental factors and not an infectious agent.

Can you catch a cold from being barefoot?

You have just as much, but no more than, the chance of catching a cold with shoes on.

There are some studies that found that people with "hypothermia" have a less active immune system...but just being cold is not hypothermia, there is a very big difference.
