What’s a professional group then?

  I don't know their exact definition, but I'd assume something like all members of an occupation - e.g., a name like "pilot's disease" would probably fall into the banlist. I mean the whole pandemic is dubbed the "Coronavirus pandemic" - and while that's not an officially designated term, the WHO frequently uses it. If they had had any consideration for Corona the beer brand, they'd probably have made that known.

      Because I didn't bother to look it up. (And neither did you apparently) You can read the exact guidelines here: https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/163636/WHO_HSE_FOS_15.1_eng.pdf https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/163636/WHO_... In particular, they say: Disease names may NOT include: [...] - People's names [...] - Cultural, population, industry or occupational references. Examples: Occupational, legionnaires, miners, butchers, cooks, nurses What it again does not mention is brands.
