Your world wide window on the common cold

Everything you ever needed to know about the worlds most prevalent upper respiratory disease is on this website, along with treatments, alternative theories, medicines, services and related products.

On average one person out of sixty will currently be suffering from a cold.  This means that in the UK alone, in any one day, 930,000 people will have a cold.  As around 30% of the population work, 279,000 people should be away from work on any one day, suffering from cold symptoms.  This means that over a full year, one-hundred and one million - yes 101,000,000 - workings days would be lost to the rhinovirus, costing industry, at a minimum wage of £4 an hour, a staggering £2.8 billion per year; no wonder it is called the common cold!
