You can't avoid a cold most winters, but there is news:that could change
The end of colds
Scientists from the Universities of Leeds and York have discovered a way to stop the common cold virus. They themselves describe it as a genetic code that has been cracked. This breakthrough could mean that colds can be prevented in the future.
One more test period to go
There is still a lot of research and testing to be done before we get to that point. Ultimately, the aim is to develop a medicine that responds to signals in the genetic code, so that a cold can be tackled before it manifests itself.
