Cornavirus: The Worst Case Scenario
- ColinWright 7y agoI'm not surprised that most of the news sources are getting this wrong ... they don't care ... but: Technically: * The virus belongs to a large family of viruses, and they are all "Coronaviruses"; * This particular virus is called SARS-CoV-2; * "Covid-19" is the name of the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Probably no one here cares either, but I thought it was interesting. For that, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses has designated the virus itself with the even more memorable title of "SARS-CoV-2".
