The 19 stands for 2019 when it was discovered.

Covid-19 is the name the experts are using. I’m ok with it. If you are not, that’s ok too. Agree to disagree. At the end of the day it’s just a virus, whatever u call it won’t change an iota of its ability to kill. Might make some of you feel good though. To that I say, good for you, but count me out. I like to think I’m more evolved to resort to name calling like a 9 year old.
By the way, wasn’t there an outbreak of the swine flu 10 years back that started in some us based pig farms?
Should we call it the “American pig flu” instead of H1N1 then? Since the outbreak happened in the states?
How would that make some of us here feel?
