I’d just add that there is no one “common cold.” There are actually a bunch of different diseases, like corona virus, rhino virus, and adeno virus that can all cause a cold, and there are a bunch of different variations of those diseases. Additionally, some colds are actually just cold like symptoms caused by severe allergies, and no actual infection.
