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
