we got COVID, it was a flu, and now we're immune.
I'm not aware of immunity to the common cold, or the "family" of
coronaviruses.
Coronaviruses are a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases
in mammals and birds. In humans and birds, they cause respiratory
tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses in
humans include some cases of the common cold (which is also caused by
other viruses, predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal
varieties can cause SARS, MERS and COVID-19.

Coronaviruses vary significantly in risk factor. Some can kill more
than 30% of those infected, such as MERS-CoV, and some are relatively
harmless, such as the common cold.
