It started out as The Coronavirus, but it seems to be changing more and more to Covid.

It took a while for it to actually be named, so official sources and media were just calling it things like "novel coronavirus" or "chinese coronavirus," which most people simplified to just "coronavirus." Since it's actually been named, though, the actual name is gradually taking over.

Coronavirus, but I'm starting to favor the CCP virus.

The problem with that approach is that it only works once, and I can all but guarantee this will not be the last significant novel virus to come out of China and have its spread exacerbated by the CCP's actions. People want to point fingers and assign blame and all, but you don't need the name to do that. Might as well stick with something unambiguous for the name.
