Put 'covid' into google translator. English to hebrew. Then copy and paste what you get. And put it back in hebrew to english.

Re: Covid? Since when is coronavirus called covid?
The WHO was debating on what to name the virus for quite a while during the start of the outbreak, decided on Covid 19 last week.

They took so long supposedly because they didn't want to label it as something that would cause unneeded fear. Swine flu caused people to avoid pigs, bird flu birds, that kind of thing. That was likely Chinese influence in the process since they are the #2 funder of the WHO.

Re: Covid? Since when is coronavirus called covid?
There are multiple different names now related to the disease and the virus itself:

They have officially named it Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), also known as 2019-nCoV Acute Respiratory Disease. Which is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)...

Covid-19 is the name of the disease (COronaVIrus Disease-19). Much like HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.

I read this about a week ago in my daily Nature Briefings e-mail.

The lovely prince who wanted to "return as a killer virus" got sensitive about the original name and they accomodated him.

Seriously, that actually happened and is why the name changed
