Mostly rhinoviruses, of which there are about 100 different types. Two types of coronavirus account for an estimated 15% of common colds, and influenza viruses are also significant contributors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold#Viruses

Around 80 percent of the 2,666 passengers are older than 60, 215 in their 80s and 11 in their 90s, the paper reported

Fuck me, elderly people stuck in a petri dish.

Way to make a huge assertion without literally any back up information or links. Where is the data to suggest it "mainly" affects certain groups?

Are you aware the main epicenters outside China are Korea and Italy and neither are ethnicity you stated?

And are you versed enough in v1rology to discuss the probability of random mutations to the spike protein versus artificial inserts? How was the folding achieved ethnicity-specific?
