@Oldfashionedcouple It's the name of disease, not the virus.

@HootyTheNightOwl It shows the stupidity in some people, that this virus has exposed. Not to mention, the bigotry.

@chrisCA Yeah... if we were to compile a "Top ten stupid moments of the Covid19 pandemic" - that one would certainly make the list for me.

Around here, I hear it as “Covid”. You ask about “corona” and someone will hand you a beer...

@bijouxbroussard Covid is disease, not the virus.

@ABCDEF7 Nonetheless, when people around where I live are discussing the current pandemic, they tend to say “Covid” rather than “corona”. So sue us. 🙄

@bijouxbroussard Where I stay people say Corona even when they got the (covid)disease, You may also feel free to sue against us.

@nedkelly Formerly Chinese. Western countries/people did their best to spread it like wildfire and prolong this agony unnecessarily, when we could've probably been out of it in like a couple of months, if only people had even just half of a functioning brain.

I refer to it as covid sometimes.

@Spoiledbrat It's the name of disease, not the virus.
