I had an idea that it was just an extremely common virus that we can’t cure. However, upon looking it up some sources say that there are over 200+ viruses that cause the common cold. Does that mean the common cold is just some blanket term we have for viruses that cause these symptoms?

“The common cold” is a viral respiratory disease of the upper respiratory tract (nose, throat, sinuses, etc.) It is generally quite mild, caused by one of about 200 different viruses, and usually goes away on its own or with minor over-the-counter drugs.
