My name is Kovid and Im not a virus.

Kovid Kapoor, from Bangalore, India, wrote that tweet in February 2020, right after the World Health Organization announced the official name for the disease caused by the novel coronavirus: COVID-19.

Kapoor had no idea hed still be using that line as the coronavirus pandemic heads into its third year and that simple daily acts such as ordering a coffee in Starbucks, checking into a hotel, or showing his passport at airport security would never be the same again.

The pandemic has fundamentally changed the lives of the many people who share the Sanskrit name of Kovid. And many of the Kovids are tired of the jokes. Several have even bonded over social media, forming a loose network to discuss and complain about their shared experiences of being mocked for a name that means scholar or learned person and is referenced in Vedic literature, including within a Hindu prayer dedicated to Lord Hanuman yet takes on a whole new meaning in the COVID pandemic.
