Rush Limbaugh is the first person I have heard who explained that the reason this virus is called Covid-19 is because this is the 19th version of this virus. This is not something new under the sun. There was no reason for it to get to this stage unless someone wanted it to.
That is wrong. 19 is the year.
no, it is covid-19 because it was discovered in 2019.
Someone else on FR explained it better, but here are more than 19 corona viruses known to man and I believe there are 7 that can infect humans.
The common cold is a corona virus.
