Rhinoviruses, which are the primary cause of the common cold, typically lead to mild respiratory symptoms and are not usually life-threatening. However, in individuals with weakened immune systems, chronic respiratory conditions, or other serious health issues, rhinovirus infections can lead to more severe complications, such as pneumonia, which can be fatal. Overall, while rhinoviruses themselves are not directly associated with high mortality, they can exacerbate existing health problems in vulnerable populations.
