When we think of diseases like cold or flu, why is it that we don’t get sick from multiple diseases at the same time?

We know that correlation does not equal causation, and yet the CDC jumps from answer to answer without any proper research to make sweeping recommendations that affect us all. Tune in to learn why asking the right questions is our only way out of this mess.
