O.K. I have to admit. I think COVID-19 is a boring name. What do you think it should be called?

    I just wanted to make sure!
    Definitely a better name.

    It rolls off the tongue better than COVID-19 and is much easier to type.
    It shows passion for the damn virus.  Passion to KILL IT.

    I LOVE IT!!
    From now on I'm going to call it the RONA.
    Thanks Thriftymaid.

    You are very welcome. 

    Some are calling it the Wuflu which I also like.  ;)

    I think this virus is from the tail debris of some comet. (since it seems to spread to every corner of the globe so rapidly)  I call it Comet Tail Sh-t!

    As I write my answer, Merlin and Thriftymaid and B.H.Wilcon have so far posted here.

    And I'm smiling broadly at everything every one of  you wrote. Thank you all!

    I have nothing even closely better to add to the discussion, ha!

    Considering the topic, I really enjoyed reading this!

    Be Well
    :)
