Well, this is the epidemiological name, which does have some conventions, and it is not a strain of influenza.

And the health community do not like using names of places because it stigmatises the people that live there (before, during, and after the outbreak).

Of course, nobody had thought of that. After all, nobody has ever caught a cold in temperatures above 18°C.

Didn’t you hear? He knows very much about the coronavirus. No one he knows has studied it more than him. Only he can stop it.
