Here’s why we don’t have a cold #vaccine. Yet.
Technically, #colds are #infections that affect your nose and throat, causing symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and generally feeling like garbage. Unlike some other infections they aren’t defined by the specific #virus that causes them. That’s because there are a lot of viruses that cause colds, including #rhinoviruses, #adenoviruses, and even seasonal #coronaviruses

Among respiratory viruses, more than half of the cases are #influenza viruses, the most active of which remain B and A (#H1N1). Among non-influenza viruses, #rhinoviruses and #RSV viruses predominate.

The incidence of #COVID19 continues to decline. According to the results of the 13th week, 2.5 thousand cases were registered, which is 18.3% lower than in the previous week.

“A cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract (also called an upper respiratory infection or URI). Colds usually last less than a week and are caused by different respiratory viruses.”

“More than 200 respiratory viruses can cause colds. #Rhinoviruses are the most frequent cause of colds in the United States.”
