Sure, of course that’s right.
It’s really only noteworthy in the context of trying to predict Covid 19s behavior in relation to its fellow coronaviruses.
Obviously you can be reinfected with the 4 most common coronaviruses again and again. It may also be so with Covid 19.
But that’s what makes the 1889 flu pandemic speculation so fascinating.
Perhaps what we’re witnessing is Covid establishing itself in the population and several years from now it will just be a fifth coronavirus known to cause common cold. Who knows but curious to speculate

Yep.
From the HCoV-OC43 Wiki:
quote:
Along with HCoV-229E, a species in the genus Alphacoronavirus, HCoV-OC43 are among the known viruses that cause the common cold. Both viruses can cause severe lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals such as those undergoing chemotherapy and those with HIV/AIDS.
Those viruses are still somewhat deadly today.

Even the common cold human coronaviruses are hard on the elderly.
See 2018 paper about a nursing home in Louisiana that had a coronavirus NL63 outbreak that hospitalized 6 of 20 residents and killed 3 of the 20: Severe Respiratory Illness Outbreak Associated With Human Coronavirus NL63 in a Long-Term Care Facility
