Uh, are you sure it's not for the simple reason that people aren't outdoors spread out like in the summer and pretty much stay inside more out of the cold... closer to other people doing the same?

I've never understood that argument. I don't change my habits too much in the winter time vs. summer. I may go biking outside more in the summer, but it's not like I replace those hours with more time with other ppl.

Maybe since I go to work with a buncha ppl with kids and their kids go to school with other germ factories, then the parents get sick, who then bring it to work.

In general more people tend to stay inside. I'm not out running when it's 30* I'll do do my running when I'm at the gym. Instead of gym then run the neighborhood when I get home in warm weather. I'll tend to stay inside the bar/restaurant instead of out on the patios when it's freezing cold. Same with work. Instead of having the bay doors open and kind of wondering around outside, all the shop doors will be closed and me and my coworkers generally stay inside so we're closer together when talking, etc.

I don't buy it. In the winter I will stay at home alone much more and in the summer I will spend time in parks, going to parties and concerts. But even in my isolation I am kinda sick all winter, every winter.

Of course they are. Well it depends on your mood though. We can't just argue something we can't control.

Please recognize that your habits and behavior changes do not necessarily apply to everyone else. And that one is typically not very good at gauging what others do.

But I assume you go to work in the winter too? And get groceries, etc? Places where you meet other people…

Same here. Well but I prefer more on winter season, it so peaceful for me. But summer is also great too.
