Do common colds or flu strains leave permanent damage similar to what is being found with CoViD-19?

This post has CoViD-19 in the title but is a question regarding the human body and how it handles common colds and flu strains which are commonly received and dealt with throughout a normal life.

Is there any permanent damage caused, or is it simply temporary or none at all? Thanks!

Edit: I had a feeling common colds and flu strains had long lasting effects, but the fact that I didn't realize it until I was reminded and clarified by you all is a very important distinction that this isn't something we think about often. I hope moving forward after CoViD-19, the dangers of simple common illnesses are brought to attention. Myocarditis is something that I have recently learned about and knowing how fatal it can be is something everyone should be aware about.

What are possible reasons why we can’t just program a cancer cell to become a normal cell once again?

If cancer cells are immature daughter cells that fail to differentiate then is it possible to program them into maturing and specializing which would turn them back into a normal cell? What would be possible reasons why this would not work?

If having the common cold in the past potentially primes immune systems to fighting and inhibiting Covid 19, is it possible that a future vaccine for Covid could provide some immunity to the common cold?

Why do people talk about ultra-sensitive cameras and telescopes that can detect individual photons, but never ultra-sensitive antennas that can detect individual photons of radio?

Posted: 07 Aug 2020 11:29 AM PDT

Of course light has wave particle duality. But it seems like in my experience, nobody ever talks about radio having a particle nature, particles only start happening once you get up to infrared. Why's that?

Do you think Covid-19 virus can be carcinogenic in the future?

Posted: 07 Aug 2020 02:51 PM PDT

I ask this because viruses can be a cause of cancer. For example, the Epstein Barr Virus that causes mononucleosis infection causes almost a 4x higher chance of developing Lymphoma. The Human Papomillia Virus causes Cervical, Anal cancers and etc.

With how deadly and strong this coronavirus is, causing multi system damage/disruption, do you think it can go the whole mile and be a cause of cancer in day the next decade or so? Similar to HPV, Epstein Barr, etc?

What causes fevers and why does our temperature rise, also can anyone explain that if PV=nRT then how does out body temperature rise if the volume and pressure of our bodies don't change?

How do bacteria gain immunity on antibiotics?

Posted: 07 Aug 2020 04:08 AM PDT

I read that microbes can and will be able to adapt immunity to antibiotics at a matter of time. Is this also the same at alcohol and soap?
