Andrew with all due respect, i read almost all your post above. Tried to read most of it anyway.

Here's my reply:

1. You're right, i'm confusing covid-19 the disease with the correct name for the virus.

2. I'm ok calling it cv, sars-cov-2, covid-19 again, or coronavirus. I'm not ok calling it anything else.

3. I believe then, and still believe now, calling this virus with a geographical association is both insensitive and derogatory.

4. This may not have come through in my post, but i actually agree with everything else you've said on your above post. And i actually think you are what you said. I see plenty of evidence of your selfless help in this forum, and I find it very likely you also do the same outside of this forum.
