Corona means crown in latin and several languages, and all the proteins on its membrane (the red spikes) kind of look like a crown.

Fuck off chink.

It was called Coronavirus Disease 19 instead of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 in the media because the WHO are led by money grubbing faggots who didn't want to hurt the CCPs feefees.
My ICU is filling up worse now than it was in March because people keep coofing chinkvirus droplets all over each other in public. Some patients do fine, some go into multisystem organ failure and die. Even when you compare apples to apples (age, race, comorbidity) some seem to fair much better than others, I suspect initial viral load and subsequent cytokine release as the main indicator for mortality.

Tell me what the word corona is associated with.

>> No.11958065

>>11957330
because it's a member of the family of coronaviruses you retard
its actual name specifically to differentiate it from other coronaviridae is "serious acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2" or "SARS-CoV-2" for short.
