Not the epidemiologists, because "coronavirus" is way too vague.

  People. Not every person. Not epidemiologists specifically, obviously. But the name has now stuck.

    Yeah, but the WHO isn't naming things for "people". Any more than the fact that "people" call things stomach flu when they're not at all influenza related changes that things are called "norovirus" and "rotavirus".
