The search results are probably flooded, if you need good info look for anything from before the resent outbreak.
Its on the wikipedia page for common cold, I think I got the factoid when I was searching google patents for coronavirus (might be interesting to check out as well) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold#Viruses

I don't think coronavirus is an integrating retrovirus? It's an RNA virus for sure, but I haven't ever heard of it causing genome integration, and it would probably be a lot more dangerous (ability to cause cancer for instance) if it did?
