How come germs cannot live in cold conditions But you get colds and viruses more in the winter?
I'm pretty sure germs can live in cold conditions. Otherwise, we would be perfectly clean in the winter time.

The real reason there is more sickness in winter is because people spend more time indoors and they are careful not to let the "nice warm air out" in other words They don't let the germy air out.
Answer:You normally get more colds in the cooler weather because people tend to stay inside more. By doing so you get more person to person contact than you would in warmer climates. This leads to the spread of the common cold or the influenza virus. This is why its important to cough into your sleeve rather than your hand and to wash your hands often during cold and flu season. Its also a good idea to give up shaking hands and casual pecks on the cheek as kissing can be the easiest way to spread germs around. Anti bacterial soap should be used but not for body cleaning. There are over 50000 good bacteria per square inch on our bodies that keep our skin disease free. If we remove them, we invite skin problems. Another reason people tend to get sick more is most people don't have the common sense to stay at home when they are contageous and wind up giving more gifts around the holidays than most people wanted to receive in the form of a cold. If you have a phlem or mucous productive cough or a runny nose, you are considered to be contageous. Just remember to clean objects like doorknobs, the telephone, the tv remote and anything that gets touched a lot with a 10% bleach and 90% water solution, sprayed out of a spray bottle. This kills 100% of all germs and bacteria including virus'. My family has a rule when anyone is sick. Dont come over unless absolutely necessary.
