There's only 4 coronaviruses that causes a cold: HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-229E, and HCoV-NL63 The rest are rhinoviruses. ------- That's literally only 7 coronaviruses to care about (including the 4 that cause "common cold").

Only 4 known coronaviruses that cause a cold, anyway. While it'd be a bit surprising if there were more, HCoV-HKU1 was only discovered surprisingly recently.

OC43 used to be a pandemic one itself in 1895.
