Video Overview
Script: Imagine the common cold as an ancient traveler. Over two thousand years ago, Roman soldiers marched across Europe, inadvertently spreading this tiny invader. Fast forward, the cold virus hops onto ships during the Age of Exploration, reaching new continents. With each sneeze, it becomes a silent passenger in history's great journeys. Surprisingly, it even played a role in shaping medical research in the 20th century. From ancient remedies to modern medicine, the common cold has been a persistent companion. Yet, its story is not just about illness—it's about resilience and adaptation. Picture a world map dotted with its journey—a testament to our shared history.
