The Meaning of Covid-19

COVID-19 naming

ADD ARTICLE DESCRIPTION


During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the disease and virus were sometimes called “coronavirus”, “Wuhan coronavirus”, or “Wuhan pneumonia”.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) tentatively named it “2019-nCoV”, short for “2019 Novel Coronavirus”, or “2019 Novel Coronavirus Acute Respiratory Disease”. This naming was based on the organization’s 2015 guidelines for naming novel viruses and diseases, avoiding the use of geographic locations (such as Wuhan), in part to prevent social stigma. A similar structure has also been used by the AP when referring to virus variants, for example, referring to it as the “Delta variant” rather than the “South African variant”.

On 11 February 2020, the WHO named the disease COVID-19 (short for coronavirus disease 2019). That same day, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) formally announced it had named the causative virus as SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) based upon its genetic similarity to the 2003 SARS-CoV. The separation between the disease and the causative virus is based on the same nomenclature policies that separate AIDS and the virus which causes it, HIV.

WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus explained that CO stands for coronavirus, VI for virus, and D stands for disease, while 19 stands for the year, 2019, that the outbreak was first detected. As such, there has never been a “COVID-1” or any other “COVID-” series disease with a number below 19.

Chinese virus

From January to March 2020, US President Donald Trump repeatedly described the virus as the “Chinese virus”. In March 2020, the president claimed to have abandoned the term, telling Fox News “we shouldn’t make any more of a big deal out of it”. On March 18 and 19, 2020, Trump twice defended using the term “Chinese virus” amid instances of bigotry against Asians in the United States. Trump referred to it as “the China Virus” at least as late as January 2021.

This description was also used by members of the Spanish far-right political party Vox, especially by its leader Santiago Abascal in March 2020.

CCP virus

The Epoch Times has reportedly funded right-wing groups promoting the use of the term “CCP virus” to lay blame on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for the pandemic. Chinese-born New Zealand sculptor Chen Weiming created a 20-foot statue in Liberty Sculpture Park in Yermo, California, depicting Chinese leader and CCP general secretary Xi Jinping with spike proteins as his hair, naming it “CCP virus”.

Stylization

Stylization of the term has varied since the virus’s and disease’s discovery. The World Health Organization (WHO) stylizes the disease as COVID-19 with all letters capitalized and many other organizations have followed their lead. The AP StylebookChicago Manual of Style, and the Modern Language Association (MLA) have styled it similarly. Several observers have noted the importance of proper stylization, despite the seeming ridiculousness of worrying over such matters “at a time like this” (during the early days of the pandemic), recalling the confusion and prejudice which resulted from unclear or inconsistent naming as was the case with AIDS (which was called GRID/HTLV-III/LAV at various times) and non-A, non-B Hepatitis. They have also pointed out that future researchers will benefit from consistency when reviewing past data and research.

However, stylization as “Covid-19” has become common as well. Numerous news sources including The New York TimesCNNPoliticoThe Wall Street JournalNBCNews have presented the term with a capital C but all other letters as lower case. As a result, use of “Covid-19” has become commonplace and even the accepted standard in some cases. Use of “Covid-19” in news sources from the United Kingdom like The Guardian has also been the norm since most British newspapers only capitalize an entire acronym if the acronym is typically spelled out like “B-B-C” or “N-H-S” while acronyms which are pronounced as words, like “Nasa” or “Unicef” have their first letter capitalized and all subsequent letters lowercase.

While COVID-19 refers to the disease and SARS-CoV-2 refers to the virus which causes it, referring to the “COVID-19 virus” has been accepted. Reference to SARS-CoV-2 as “the coronavirus” has become somewhat accepted despite such use implying that there is only one coronavirus species. Similarly, use of “COVID” for the disease (if the first rendered as COVID-19) has been tolerated. Use of “the Coronavirus” to refer to the COVID-19 pandemic which began in December 2019 has also been accepted. Although such use does not specify the year or which coronavirus-related disease is being referred to, given its all-encompassing impact at the time, such references have been deemed justifiable. Use of “the” when referring to the disease, virus, or 2019 pandemic has been quite varied with some requiring use of “the” while others have not. The Oxford English Dictionary noted that “the” is typically not used when referring to the disease, COVID-19, but is not uncommon when referring to the virus.

Reference to the virus and/or the disease as “corona”, “the corona”, and “the rona” has also arisen in various parts of the world.

Colloquial names

2022-09-13 phylogenetic tree of life of COVID-19 using the PANGO nomenclature; only a few of these variants have come to public notice

Numerous mutations and variants of SARS-CoV-2 have acquired colloquial vis-à-vis scientific labels for ease of pronunciation and usage, both in the lab and to some extent in mass media. The nomenclature draws from the corpus of mythology (both Greek and Scandinavian and astronomy.

Public messaging has been a concern given that these elements of popular reportage can be at variance with the Greek alphabet nomenclature established by the WHO; other schemes have been proposed.

Variants

Arcturus (XBB.1.16) was named on social media after the star; Kraken (XBB.1.5), Cerberus (BQ.1.1), Typhon (BQ.1), and Gryphon (XBB) were coined by evolutionary biologist T. Ryan Gregory (from his own personal nomenclature of mythical creatures); whereas Pelican, Quail, and Mockingbird (variants of 20I/501Y.V1), have not gained wider usage. The BA.2.86 variant was named ‘pirola’ (sic) by a group of scientists on social media in late 2023, and was brought to public attention by an August edition of the Wall Street Journal. (Inasmuch as the World Health Organization has suggested using astronomy for its plethora of names, the Twitter user @JPWeiland suggested the obscure Jovian asteroid 1082 Pirola “for its uniqueness” and the possibility of shifting the nomenclaure to Pi or Rho if needed.)

Mutations

Nicknames have also arisen for mutations such as Nelly (N501Y), Doug (and Douglas) (D614G), and even Eeek (E484K), initially meant as convenient labels in University of Bern lab discourse.

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

I had to ask for Protection from Jesus Christ on December 20, 2020 because I had Covid-19 for a total of 7 weeks.   I read Psalm 91 every single day ever since I had Covid-19.  I still thank God for forgiveness and putting people in my life that helped me to recover from the disease.  Currently,  I pray every day and I read at least one chapter inside of the Bible.  I am very happy to be clean and sober for 33 years.   I love All of God’s Creation forever.   Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts because I am recovering from the flu and kidney pain.  I am happy to be a Child of the Most High God.  God Loves You!  God Bless All of You!

Psalm 94:11 Commentary

Psalms 94:11 And What It Means To All People?

By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins

Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today? Fine, I hope. I want to ask everyone a very important question. Does the Lord knows the thoughts of man? The answer is yes!! God knows all things in advance. Psalms 94:11 says The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. This is inside of the King James Version of the Bible. �Frankly, I want to say that God knows the things that we are going to do long before it takes place. What I would like to do is have the Word of God to impact my mind, and my thinking.

Next, I want to say that I need the Lord to allow me to feed on the Word of God. In the middle of trouble, I need to feed on the Word of God at all times. I really feel at this time that I am inside of the Lord’s Hands. How you think determines how you feel. This means that you have to deal with how you think rather than how they feel. This is very hard for some people because in my case, I am a person who reacts to things more than I am thinking.

Further, I am trying my very best not to conform to these external supervisions. This reminds me of Romans 12:2 it says; do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Proverbs 23:7 For as He thinketh in his heart, so is he. I want to say that I suffer from a mental illness called Schizoid Affective Disorder. This means that I hear voices or things that other people do not hear.

Moreover, I want to say that I would like for the Lord to continue to bless me eternally. The things that I need on earth, the Lord will provide. I know that my mind craves for the things that I wish that I need. For Example, I am the type of person, who has changed for the better. For Instance, I want to say that I used to be very reclusive.

I tend to withdraw at certain times. I find myself withdrawing from certain realities of life. I will admit that I am very intelligent and kind. I also will admit that I have a passive mind. Even though I am not apathetic. I have been through a whole lot in my life. I used to make excuses for my emotions. Currently, I am doing a whole lot better emotionally and mentally. I have a sound mind right now. I feel excited about life more than I have ever before.

I remember when my parents used to tell me that I talk out loud. I guess the reason why I talk loud is because I would like for everyone to hear what I have to say. I want to saturate myself with God’s Word. My way of thinking has changed because I have the Holy Spirit inside of me right now. I am literally excited because I am attending Church on a regular basis. I am reading my Bible every single day of the week. You are accountable for how I feel. I am accountable for my emotions.

Finally, I want to say that self-control is a gift from God that has a purpose for our lives. My life during the past 30 years have been filled with ups and downs. I want to be inside of a place that I can govern my emotions. I want to say that I do not argue with anyone anymore. Godly emotions go towards God. I noticed that I do not dwell on negative emotions anymore. I used to carry thoughts that used to wear me down completely. What I am doing at the moment is that I am managing my problems.

In Conclusion, I want to say that my life has changed for the better. I have to expose myself to the Word of God. I have become saturated my thinking with the Word of God on a daily basis. I read the Bible out loud because I want God to talk to me. I know that I have been saved for the past 4 years now. What are you spending most of your time thinking about? For me personally, I would like to become a father someday.

I would like to attend Seminary School. I would like for the Lord to pay for my book publishing fees and my student loans. I do not want life mastering me!! I want to master life!! Please continue to keep me in your prayers because I have a lot of special needs at the moment. I really need to govern my life instead of allowing my emotions to govern my life. Please keep do things in a positive manner.

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Honestly,  I have been taking my medication at 3:00am.  I have been watching the local news just to find out what the weather is going to be like for the day.  I pray to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.   I will admit that I have been drinking coffee and eating breakfast as well.   I am still in need of your prayers because I have been sick with the flu and allergies.
