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

I've seen that naming convention before. First two letters of two words, though the D I'm guessing is a class or code or something.

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.

Unbridled9 posted...
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.

Well, the problem is that the reason this virus got so bad was because the CCP blatantly lied, and is still lying. It's death toll is probably stupidly higher than what they're actually reporting (and only 'probably' because it may be higher than 'stupidly') and they're trying to now blame America for this. Like, seriously? If they had just been honest and didn't try to blame America for the virus I would be calling it Coronavirus. But trying to blame us for it? Frick no.

Oh, by all means, blame them (although as much as the CCP is to blame for the initial spread, the list of countries that haven't grossly mismanaged this thing is pretty short, so there's plenty of blame to go around beyond that), you just don't need to rename the already-named virus to do that, especially when such a name will inevitably become ambiguous whenever another wacky virus comes out of China.
