It's literally the common cold according to old-thinkers.
Fact check: Textbook definition of coronavirus as common cold doesn't include COVID-19
The claim: An old medical book says coronaviruses present as common colds
Our rating: Partly false
We rate this claim PARTLY FALSE because some of it was not supported by our research. The common cold is caused by a coronavirus. But there exist other coronaviruses that affect humans in ways more serious than the common cold. The old textbook used as a reference in the Facebook claims did not address novel coronaviruses or animal-to-human transmission.
Excellent find. Thank you for sharing this. I do recall seeing the corona virus - cold connection before. Here’s the thing though, I had “Covid” and that shit was brutal. Extreme fatigue (never felt that before with a cold), loss of taste and smell (not like a cold, I literally could not taste or smell anything), shortness of breath, short-term memory loss, and I still get light-headed at times (18 months later). I’m in my mid 40’s, I exercise regularly and eat decent. I’m not saying Covid isn’t the cold, I’m just sharing my experience in that is wasn’t like any cold I’ve had before.
To answer your question above: you can catch it again. Probably not the Wuhan strain, since that's out of circulation now, but definitely one of the others. That said- your body now has some level of immunity to the virus. If you were to catch it again, it is likely your symptoms would be much milder the second time around.
So, it’s more like the flu than say chickenpox?

Of course it wasn't like a normal cold. It was bioengineered.
