Winter can take some of the blame, but the cold isn't really the cause of the illnesses around us. The real culprit for catching viruses is a lack of ventilation. Let's discuss one significant obstacle to health every winter - the heating.
It's true that it's important to keep the body warm so that it remains healthy and stimulates blood circulation, but don't exaggerate. Any doctor will confirm that there's no need to overheat rooms. On the contrary, ventilating the spaces can reduce the chance of infection.

I like to keep my bedroom cool at night so I can get under the blankets. I have the bedroom windows at least cracked open most of the year. I live in Connecticut.
Thanks I’ll give it a shot 👍
“For those not in the know, you can use polypropylene tubing with lp gas instead of copper or steel.”
More than 10 years ago, specific types of plastic pipe were approved for use as fuel gas lines inside residences and light commercial buildings. Two of these materials are chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), which burns slowly but will not support combustion, and cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), which is a thermoset plastic that will not melt and that will burn only under extreme conditions. Both types of gas pipe are supplied as coils, and are intended to have fittings only at the ends, connecting them to metallic pipe or to appliances. Internet search “CPVC,” “PEX,” or “plastic gas pipe” for more information on these products, pipe, and fitting systems.
Nobody’s business !
***A friend kept his bedroom window open about one inch, all winter long!!!***
All of us who had a gas space heater in the bedroom did the same.
Two of my dad’s friends died years ago when a blizzard came through and they shut themselves up in a bedroom with a kerosene heater. CO is a killer.
My aunt came down with severe mental problems when a leak developed in her central heat exhaust system allowing CO back into her room.
Keep a window open just a crack will help prevent this.
“Nobody’s business !”

Ah yes! Let’s all turn off our heat and rid ourselves of those evil gas stoves in order to improve our health and save the planet. Shivering in the cold with no heat or light will be so much better for us all!
It’s easy to spot how they introduce their intentions. First they produce a article about ridding the nation of gas stoves. Next they complain that “Republicans pounce” and no one is intending to mandate a ban on gas stoves. Next, they tell us they are banning gas stoves for our health.
These people are evil!
LOL!
