Quite simply because it is not "the" common cold.

There are over 300 different 'common cold' diseases. That, by the way, is why you cannot create a vaccine for the cold. Once you have had one of the 300+ colds, you are immune to it, and will never catch it, again.

Since there are over 300 common cold diseases, there are many more of them than any other respiratory ailments.
