The only thing cold has to do with transmission of viruses is people come inside close together to be away from the cold..End of story. If you believe otherwise then there's always trumpism for you as well. Drink bleach to cure it.

Here is one of the no-science places, the CDC:

Does being cold lower your immune system?
Some of this may have to do with a few infectious organisms, like flu viruses, thriving in colder temperatures, but there's also evidence that exposure to cold temperatures suppresses the immune system, so the opportunities for infection increase.Jan 1, 2010


Furthermore, when someone is out exerting themselves in cold climate, their sinuses will likely be draining and can irritate the throat causing difficulty swallowing and discomfort.  

The bottom line:  There is a reason every single team has access to one on a regular basis that practices north of Atlanta.
