True or false. People die from colds each year

False. People do not typically die from common colds. While colds can be inconvenient and cause discomfort, they are generally mild respiratory infections that resolve on their own within a week or two. However, people with pre-existing health conditions, weakened immune systems, or vulnerable populations (such as elderly individuals or infants) might face complications from a cold that can lead to severe illnesses, but these cases are rare.
