Contracting the common cold (other coronaviruses) will give you at least partial, if not full immunity to Covid-19, possibly for life https://archive.is/Bp7jk https://archive.vn/LCgFZ https://archive.is/wIhrV
CDC update on comorbidities
For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.

I don’t understand how contracting the common cold can give you immunity. Hasn’t everyone gotten at least one or more colds in their lifetime?
There's a lot of different corona viruses that cause a cold. If it's similar enough to the china flue, your immune system knows how to produce antibodies. If it's not, then you'll get sick until your body figures out how to deal with it.
