Why is it news that someone caught a cold living in the antarctic?
It shows that the virus was dormant in themselves. It was not transmitted.
Its actually evidence of 'Terrain Theory' as apposed to 'Germ theory'
Its worth looking into, you should see the number of hoops that need to be jumped through in order to 'isolate' a 'virus'
because cold drafts and cold weather do not cause colds, viruses do.
