This may be true, I don't know. I do know that my experience with coronavirus colds is that they hit much harder and have more severe symptoms compared to rhinovirus colds. So well worth taking out just the CV segment.

It's a conclusion from symptoms. Complete lack of upper respiratory involvement, heavy lung involvement, very hard immune response symptoms for 5 days(CV) vs copious runny nose, sneezing, stuffy head for 3 days (RV).
