I have little doubt that the sinister cabal that cooked this up also sat around and decided what to call it, like some parallel universe Mad Men.

“Coronavirus! I love it! Run with that.”


Um, coronaviri were first discovered in the 1960s, isolated from a couple patients that had the common cold (15% of the colds are caused by a coronavirus).

And it was given that name because, when viewed under a microscope, it looks like it has a halo or a 'corona', around the body of the virus.

Many of the other recent pandemics were given geographical names. Why did the sexy name for this one get used, and not “China” flu, or “Wuhan” flu?

Go “um” yourself, if you insist on being an apologist for the Globalist Liberals.
