To the medical individuals out there (@Medic007, @blbronco, and others):
I have three questions:
1) When someone gets a Covid test, would having the common cold, which is also a coronavirus, pop a positive?
2) The media talks about the rapid mutations of Covid (the UK variant, the Brazil variant, South African variant, etc) and how dangerous each variant might be. Is this rapid mutation normal for other Coronaviruses (such as the common cold)?
3) Knowing both Covid and the common cold are coronaviruses, does the Covid vaccine grant increased immunity to the common cold?
