I hate it when someone who doesn't know what he's talking about pretends to be an expert.

...ok, I will shut up for awhile. I gotta take the mz to Physical Therapy anyway.

Fox News just gave a talk about Covid-19 and - I don't know why I'm surprised - they got it completely wrong.

They just said that there are many variants of coronavirus and scientists gave the current one the name Covid-19 because it originated in 2019. They then compared it to other well known coronaviruses, MERS and SARS.

Wrong! The "RS" in both MERS and SARS stands for "Respiratory Syndrome." Would anybody give a virus a name ending in "Respiratory Syndrome"? No. MERS and SARS and Covid-19 are all DISEASES. The viruses behind those diseases have their own names. In the case of the current coronavirus, the name is SARS-CoV-2. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2. I hate it when someone who doesn't know what he's talking about pretends to be an expert.
