On a serious note, it seems germain to protecing yourself from coronoavirus and respiratory infections in general. UK advice has been there is nothing you can do to save yourself once you get the virus so you should avoid getting infected. For some reason though cases apparently go up in winter. They went up despite a mask order. I find it curious why there is no discussion of this trend in the news media. Shurley the want to save lives more than anthing else. Thats what this lockdown is about after all... not just trashing the economy for the sake of it.... Im asking this because they have said there is nothing you can do to protect yourself from the virus. That was their offical advice. Dont belive advice your hear in the pub they said, (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-51735367). Just wait for the vaccine. A form of induced helplessness. They have also been banning people online for spreading misinformation, which they define as disagreeing with anything the WHO says. One mistake i think they have made is telling people to stay at home, as they have linked obesity to suscptibility to the virus and presumeably other infections. Surely they should be telling people to exercise The problem with the recent lockdown is there is no explanantion for why respiratory infections are more common in winter. What is driving it?

Flu season. Typically September- October through May- April. SARS-CoV-2 and influenza are both Corona Virus style bodies. Corona viruses (and most viruses, as to my understanding) live better in colder weather. It's just a flu.
dear Siteless, that too is my suspicion. Temperature matters in contraction of this virus. I suspect respiratory infections take hold partly because of the cold air flowing through that area adn the body induces a fever because its a protection.
Nonetheless, surely they would tell people that, if it were true. In fact they have said the opposite. They have said there is nothing you can do. In fact they have told people to keep their windows open. So it cant be correct.
which leaves the question. why
Remember a few months back when the mainstream media told us the temperature didn't matter and we needed to stay locked indoors all summer long? They never seem to get tired of being wrong.
