I'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".
