What is the deal with the cold
Modern medicine in this world is a wonderful thing. Doctors today can replace a hip, Transfuse blood, and turn a black man into a white women. Yet with so many wonderful medical miracles there is still no cure for the common cold. What the hell is that all about?
Humans have been getting colds ever since the beginning of time, (beginning of time meaning the start of evolution, or when the all powerful God created Adam and Eve) And yet for some strange reason there is no pill, shot, or tea that will cure the cold. We have pills for headaches, nicotine addiction, erectile dysfunction, but yet no modern pill for the common cold. I mean i understand that a cold is not the black death, or malaria, but it still kills hundreds of old people and children each year, and yet the AARP and Child advocates have not lobbied for a cure for the cold.
Maybe its just because i am currently sick, but i feel it has become my American duty to write my congressmen, and senator in hopes of starting some sort of social revolution, in search of a cure.
Who knows maybe one day i will get a Nobel peace prize for this.

I think they haven't found a "cure" because the common cold is caused by multiple viruses partying it out in your body. At least that's what the Wiki tells me.

It's God punishing you for touching yourself. That's what my momma says.

The cold virus, much like the flu virus, mutates every year so that's why we can't cure the flu virus or cold virus. In fact, iirc we haven't found a "cure" for any virus, only vaccines which help us develop antibodies to protect against contracting one.
