where did the common cold get its name
Common cold The common cold is the most frequent infectious disease in humans.[16] The average adult gets two to three colds a year, while the average child may get six to eight.[10][7] Infections occur more commonly during the winter.[2] These infections have existed throughout human history.[17]
Battle of Cold Harbor The Battle of Cold Harbor was fought during the American Civil War near Mechanicsville, Virginia, from May 31 to June 12, 1864, with the most significant fighting occurring on June 3. It was one of the final battles of Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign, and is remembered as one of American history's bloodiest, most lopsided battles. Thousands of Union soldiers were killed or wounded in a hopeless frontal assault against the fortified positions of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's army.
