Rhinoviruses and coronaviruses cause the common cold. You are confusing viruses with the disease they cause, and rhinoviruses are completely different in any case. As for what Bezos supposedly "wants" to do, that's irrelevant, and even if true, an effort of "millions" doesn't even come close to comparing to a unified, all-hands-on-deck global initiative to find a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2. I respect your views, although what they may be is sort of unclear, but you're not really advancing them. Perhaps you just want to argue for its own sake. In any case, thanks for the discussion.
