OK. Color me confused. Is there another type of virus that can cause a common cold? I clearly do not understand your statement that "some" bugs and colds are coronaviruses. I thought they all were coronaviruses that cause the flu and common colds.
I just now Googled if a common cold can trigger a positive Covid test. This is what I found.........
Fact check: Common cold does not produce positive COVID-19 test result
