The virus's official name is, afterall: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), as opposed to "SARS 1" which was called Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV).

I see that Covid-19 is getting that renaming. It's also orders of magnitude more virulent than SARS-1, which recorder 8000 infections and <800 deaths in '03. Or did I miss something?
