Just because something sounds logical does not mean it is right.
An article by Brian Niemietz at the New York Daily News on March 12, 2020
described how Coronavirus skeptic Rush Limbaugh thinks COVID-19 means there
were 18 other COVIDs. It does not – instead it just means that the virus was
identified in the year 2019.
Another article by David Mukkelson at Snopes on March 26,
2020 is titled Does COVID stand for ‘Chinese-Originated Viral Infectious
Disease? He said a more detailed naming also is false:
“COVID literally stand
for Chinese Originated Viral Infectious Disease and the number 19 is due to
this being the 19th virus to come out of China.”
Still another article by Clara O’Rourke at PolitiFact on March
30, 2020 titled COVID stands for coronavirus disease 2019 repeated that the quote
shown above is false.
But weeks later a video by David Pakman at FreeSpeechTV on April
16, 2020 was titled Kellyanne (Conway) thinks COVD-19 means “19th Coronavirus” and discussed at Politifact.
