| Apr 30, 2020 at 12:28 | comment | added | Asteroids With Wings | It can be like saying that, but alas in my experience many people think the virus is actually called that. | |
| Apr 30, 2020 at 6:51 | comment | added | Astralbee | @chrylis-onstrike- absolutely - "the Covid-19 virus" is like saying "the virus that causes Covid-19". | |
| Apr 30, 2020 at 6:14 | comment | added | chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- | @Laurel COVID-19, being a disease, isn't a virus, and most people wouldn't recognize the virus by name (SARS-CoV-2). | |
| Apr 30, 2020 at 0:58 | comment | added | President James K. Polk | @Laurel: This sentence should kill you: "The Covid-19 virus is also known as the SARS-CoV-2 virus." :) | |
