What do you think

So the other day on a different social media site, i posted this statement. "I have coronavirus, some people call it the common cold" and i was told that it was offensive to people who might have someone who died from covid. I don't see why as it is a factual statement. The common cold is caused by one of the MANY forms of coronavirus that affect humans. I was trying to be funny but factual at the same time. What do you all think?
