100%.
The whole Covid pandemic and the just plain morons that are antivaxxers.
Like how much more proof do you need.
The answer is there isn't ANY amount of proof that they need. They will never believe facts and science.
So at most just laugh at them and walk away.

If I say whenever, it means whenever. Whatever time works best for you is perfect and the exact reason I said "whenever". This LPT is fucking dumb.

If you can rule out health related issues then try:
Multiple layers of clothing, have tops and trousers overlap so that no cold air slips in. Hot beverages and food help as well. If you can spice your food hot. Eat enough, I get cold if my body is lacking something to convert into heat, then at the latest I eat. Do you have insulation between your feet and the ground? Try shoes or blankets/pillows (wool does an exceptional job) If possible wear any form of cap under your headset or get a hat to cut into shape so you can wear your headset, one loses a lot of heat through the headsurface. Is your chair comfy and warm, or does it drain heat? Pit a wool blanket on it. Regular exercise (through our the week) helps a lot
That's stuff that helps me survive winter, I am sensitive to cold more than I like to admit...

Yes, definitely put a phone number on your lock screen so people in the bar see it and call it to be funny. It can't possibly be a bad idea.

Yeah, at least if I had been playing video games, I'd have the comfort of knowing I advanced in my games.

They make USB gloves that are heated. A heated blanket, as others have said. They make a heated snuggy for your feet. All of these are more efficient than trying to heat the air around you.

Maybe invest in some cheap thermal underclothing-- a long sleeve thermal top, and cuffed leggings so you're not getting a draught going up your legs. It's better to wear several thin layers, so you could add a lightweight gilet between the hoodie and jacket. You could also add a thin scarf to keep your neck warm if you can't wear a hat.
Thin thermal socks that you can wear comfortably in bed without making your feet sweat, and under your normal socks when you're working. Thermal half finger gloves might help keep your hands warm. You could try getting a small plug in ceramic heater that will warm up the immediate area around you without using much electricity.
It might be worth getting a blood test for your thyroid, as an underactive thyroid gland can cause temperature dysregulation.

I am the same as you. Always cold.
I try to keep moving and get the blood pumping a little bit to warm up and also use a microwaveable heating pad.
I think we should both go see a doctor haha

When I give a time, EVEN IF I SAY "but whenever works" THEY ASSUME IT'S MY ONLY availability.
And if I give multiple availabilities, they say, "i only need you for an hour."
And eventually they give me a time...but it's always after the fact.
I can't win.

I was about to suggest that. Of course as a medical professional the only advice I can give over the internet is to go see a doctor but yeah. OP should get their Iron and thyroid levels checked.

It could be low thyroid issues. Measure your body temps first thing when waking. If they are consistently low, likely your thyroid is low.
Try a drop or 2 of iodine a day.
If its circulation issues, try cayenne capsules.

If they say "whenever," then just pick a time that works best for you...seems pretty easy to deal with. The other person is letting you schedule whatever you're doing whenever you want. Why would you be upset about that?
If someone says "whenever" and then keeps shutting down your suggestions because they're busy, then they're a douche but just saying, "whenever" because you have an open schedule is absolutely fine.
