Quoteoften the cause of the "common cold" is a coronavirus. Can you get the common cold more than once? Does a herd immunity exist for the common cold?
Most "common colds" are caused by rhinovirus not coronaviruses.
QuoteThe common cold, also known simply as a cold, is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the nose.[7] The throat, sinuses, and larynx may also be affected.[5] Signs and symptoms may appear less than two days after exposure to the virus.[5] These may include coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, headache, and fever.[2][3] People usually recover in seven to ten days,[2] but some symptoms may last up to three weeks.[6] Occasionally those with other health problems may develop pneumonia.[2]
Well over 200 virus strains are implicated in causing the common cold, with rhinoviruses being the most common.[1

QuoteThere are no vaccines against these viruses as there is little-to-no cross-protection between serotypes. At least 99 serotypes of human rhinoviruses affecting humans have been sequenced.[20][6] However, a study of the VP4 protein has shown it to be highly conserved among many serotypes of human rhinovirus, opening up the potential for a future pan-serotype human rhinovirus vaccine.[21] A similar result was obtained with the VP1 protein. Like VP4, VP1 also occasionally "pokes" out of the viral particle, making it available to neutralizing antibodies. Both peptides have been tested on rabbits, resulting in successful generation of cross-serotype antibodies.[22]
The successful introduction of human ICAM-1 into mouse has removed a major roadblocker in creating an animal model for RV vaccination.[22]

Rhinovirus is a member of the picornovirus family and unlike coronavirus, I believe it does not require the enzyme reverse transcriptase for reproduction and thus is not a "retrovirus."

I do not know much about corona virus induced "colds." Maybe you can look them up.
