Thanks! :)
There is some speculative research that a cold helps keeping out the flu, as both fight for the same receptor. It is not a 100% guarantee. So, em, silver linings I guess... who knows, maybe a common cold also keeps out the covid? [research needed...I am speculating. Again, the receptors are the same]

There are also colds that are caused by a lot more harmless coronaviruses.
