COrona VIrus Disease Yeah, it's really not complicated, I'm getting annoyed by all the Dutch people mixing everything up and saying how confusing it is...it's not 1. The virus is a coronavirus, one of many. 2. It's a new - or, novel - coronavirus, hence the original temporary name of 2019-nCoV. 3. That virus got it's more final name of SARS-CoV-2 after the needed research to see what it does. 4. The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 was called COVID-19, of which you explained the abbreviation already. How can this be complicated for so many people in this country? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

dcro 10,179 Posted March 9, 2020 #722 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It should be CoViD-20. Actually, it should be just Coronavirus. Who cares for the other types of Coronavirus at this point? VolleyRuller96 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up and down 82 Posted March 10, 2020 #727 Share Posted March 10, 2020 On 07/03/2020 at 22:56, AlFHg said: I don't know about Iran, but as far as concerns Italy, there were nearly 200 deaths of people that was positive to coronavirus. This does not mean that the virus was directly or indirectly responsible for the death, but that it was present in the body. This is just to say that although it is imperative to contain the spreading of this disease, panic has to be avoided. And this is true not only for Italy, but for everybody. You are right.

VolleyRuller96 264 Posted March 10, 2020 #728 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Not gonna lie, some of the data sounds scary, but then again, we've survived both Ebola and Zika outbreaks, not to mention the 2009 Swine Flu pandemic which allegedly infected over 1 billion people and killed nearly 250,000 of them,. So yeah, unless suddenly Kuru appears and breaks into an epidemic somewhere nearby I don't think there's a reason for panic.
