I realise this following information was published by Yale University on June 15, 2021 but I have only just seen it and thought it could be of interest to other people on here.
Maybe suffering from a Cold may have a beneficial side effect against both Covid 19 and Influenza during the coming winter months.

snippet ... Since earlier studies by Foxman’s lab showed that common cold viruses may protect against influenza, they decided to study whether rhinoviruses would have the same beneficial impact against the COVID-19 virus. For the study, her team infected lab-grown human airway tissue with SARS-CoV-2 and found that for the first three days, viral load in the tissue doubled about every six hours. However, replication of the COVID-19 virus was completely stopped in tissue which had been exposed to rhinovirus. If antiviral defenses were blocked, the SARS-CoV-2 could replicate in airway tissue previously exposed to rhinovirus.
