Covid19. How the name came around.

I can't believe that I've been studying everything I need to know about Covid19 through documentaries and movies but I still dont know how the name came around. Yesterday my mother asked me the question do you know how the term Covid19 came around and what it stands for? I had not got a clue and could not answer her simple question. I know almost everything I need to know about the virus including how to protect myself and others, but don't know how the term Covid19 came around or what it stands for.

So who can tell me what the abbreviation Covid19 stands for?

COrona VIrus December 19

Takes the first letters from the words and date to spell it out. Although there is some misinformation going around that it stands for Chinese originated viral infections disease.

The D stands for disease and not December

Roughly translated in English it mean "oye useless idiot get lost for 2019" I guess. I'm not to good at Punjabi.

If that’s what your mother says, then that’s what it means. If she is anything like my mother, I will have to agree with her that the sky is green and the sea is red. Saying yes and smiling is the key to an easy life.

Actually my mom and I are both Aries, so we really debate over everything and sometimes with a lot of heat. But being stuck at home together for long hours and reading about the respect to be given to parents I am trying my level best to be a good boy. Damn difficult, but trying hard.
