This might explain some of the weird results where some family members are infected but not all...
A new study suggests that the common cold virus could offer some level of protection against Covid-19.
Research published by scientists at the [broken link removed] found that rhinovirus, which causes the common cold, triggers an immune response that appears to block SARS-CoV-2 replicating in cells of the respiratory tract. Further mathematical calculations studies showed that this virus-virus interaction could have a population-wide effect and that an increasing prevalence of rhinovirus could reduce the number of new Covid-19 cases.

Common cold infection might provide some level of protection against Covid, study finds
Increasing prevalence of common cold virus could reduce number of new Covid-19 cases, scientists say, but more research needed
