Not that I know my viruses, but I believe the common cold is a 'rhinovirus'.
Other influenzas are often referred to to as "a cold", and they can be related to coronaviruses.
But as for the hard-core coronaviruses, we're taking about SARS (from bats in China, then us), MERS (from bats in Egypt, then camels, then us),
and now COVID-19 (from bats in China, then pangolins, then us).
And just by-the-by, all the folks out there who bewail the Chinese Virus, I wonder what you'd have to say if the Aussie Hendra virus (from Aussie fruit-bats, to horses, to us) decided to mutate one day and become the Next Big One?
Very funny things, viruses. You never know what's going to pop up, or where.
Regards, and take care.
