Also, for what it’s worth, Harvey Weinstein has apparently tested positive for the corona virus. Make of that what you will.
The point is Rev.Rye that corona is a category of virus - not a specific virus. At a push coronavirus but OP is so duning-kruger-tastic he feels justified in making his own pig-ignorant abbreviation. Technically, THIS virus is called COVID-19.
You’re technically wrong. The virus is either ‘coronavirus 2’ or ‘novel coronavirus’. It’s the disease that’s caused by coronavirus that’s called ‘COVID-19’. The disease is what happens as a result of the virus. Like the difference between HIV (the virus) and AIDS (the disease).
