> Flu is ANOTHER SET OF CORONAVIRUSES,

Wrong.  The influenza virus is NOT a coronavirus, and neither is the
common cold virus.  They are all three different categories of viruses.

 ° The common cold is caused by a rhinovirus.

 ° The flu is caused by an influenza virus.

 ° Covid-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the closest
   relatives of which are the original SARS virus — now called
   SARS-CoV-1 — and the MERS virus, both of which are also
   coronaviruses.
