Yeah, but on Google you'll find it spelled both ways, however its name is
mutating much faster than the virus itself is. First it was "Wuhan virus"
then it was "novel coronavirus-2019" then it was Covid-19" and now we're
told its newofficial name is "SARS-CoV-2", but that's not very catchy so I
don't think its new name is going to stick.
