That's an old wives' tale. You don't catch a cold from being cold. You catch a cold from a virus. The reason more people catch a cold in cold weather is because they stay indoors more often where the virus spreads more easily. You also won't catch a cold from running around outside with wet hair or while not wearing enough, but you might get hypothermia which compromises your immune system and make you more susceptible to a viral infection.
If your job is sticking your hands into ice water all day your immune system will be used to that and nothing will happen at all it.

Old wives tails and absolute nonsense that just happen to be supported by research into local immune system responses in cold environments and the ability of rhinoviruses to replicate more efficiently in the same.Original Post Deleted
Nobody is claiming cold weather makes you sick, but old wives tales are often proven to have a grounding in science.

Cold weather and respiratory disease, including flu, also go hand in hand. Research has shown that cold spells are reliably followed by upticks in the number of deaths from respiratory disease. Some of this may have to do with a few infectious organisms, like flu viruses, thriving in colder temperatures, but there's also evidence that exposure to cold temperatures suppresses the immune system, so the opportunities for infection increase. A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in the late 1970s famously debunked the belief that the common cold is linked to cold exposure, but British cold researchers have maintained that there is a cold–to–common cold connection. Their hypothesis: cold air rushing into the nasal passages makes infections more probable by diminishing the local immune response there.
P2P infection from fisherman to driver to fishmonger (or some family member or something) seems far more likely than it coming from the fish itself ('infected' salmon in China 'case') nor anything about sticking your hands in ice for too long. If anything environmental it's not the abundance of ice keeping the fish cold, but the fact that markets in HK aren't exactly that clean!
That's part of my thinking too - if covid is spread more efficiently by droplets then everywhere being constantly wet or damp seems unlikely to help.
'not exactly Clean' applies not just to surfaces with brown gunk, but in covid terms, anything that allows it to replicate and hang around more easily....
It seems more likely than delivery's of infected goods from a single common source - packages and good containing enough virus to infect individuals hours or days later is a level of paranoia that's unjustified on current evidence.
