Did they change the name from corona to Covid-19

Just to try to save the beer company ?

COVID is an abbreviation for COrona VIrus Disease.

I'm not sure whether that counts as a name change. But I can imagine the change was influenced by sensitivity to the beer company, even though "corona" simply means "crown".

Reminds me of when the name "swine flu" got changed!

@DrWatson That WAS to save people's asses, specifically pig farmers.
