Sorry to shock everyone but no, you do not get a cold from the AC....you do not get it from cold air, air current, drinking cold water, snow, or any of these "cold" things. It is unfortunate that it is called "cold". People are confused by that I guess.
I keep on hearing more and more people complaining that they got a cold from the AC and I want to rip my head off :D. The "cold" is a virus infection. Period.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cā¦
Here a short and scientific video about it youtu.be/fyO5AA65h8U
So no, there is no evidence that cold temperatures decrease your immune system's ability to cop with a viral infection, unless you may have hypothermia and then you have more problems than the virus.
I thought this is a myth only found in Romania, where I am from originally, but I've met people from Belgium to South America who believe this.

in reply to Tio • • •Yeah, but think what a filterless AC system running through an entire block of flats/apartments would do!...
...so yeah, they added filters.

in reply to Tio • • •But, hear me out... What about draft? (not the military one, the "air streaming between open windows" kind)
In Serbia, it's common knowledge that draft is the deadliest thing on God's green Earth.
Sensing a bit of draft on your skin is looking Death in the eye.
