People are testing positive for Coronavirus 229E which is the common cold. I wonder how many of the "cases" we've been seeing lately is just people testing positive for the common cold during the cold & flu season.

"HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43 cause the common cold, a self-limiting upper respiratory tract infection" according to the Canada Health source at the website below:
