Just find a way to stop it instead of naming and renaming it. We don’t care about that.

This comment section just shows how an average Nigeria man is fighting a deep battle with illiteracy.
Corona Virus is a group of family "Viruses", and the one out there now has been named " Covid19" so as to differentiate from other Corona Virus group, but instead of educating yourself, y'all are making Jokes out of it and asking if it's a naming ceremony.
Smh! Stupidity!

Sounds like a car model

It is even the name "corona" that actually belongs to a car model, the Toyota Corona.

Wuhan and not Luhan.
And there have been pandemic in recent years that's been named after the country/city they broke out. E.g Spanish influenza, Great Plague of London, Great Plague of Marseille, Russian flu etc. So You better stop this mentality that there's something against Africa.

The renaming is a part of the process. Formal identification with a universal name aids communication and coordination.

Like you said, there are other viruses in the group. This naming allows for specificity.

The next logical step will be to devise rapid diagnosis, which will help clear quarantine areas and allow life return to normalcy while only infected people are isolated. Once that is achieved, the paranoia is at an end.

Whether stigmatization or not, we know it originated from Wuhan in China. And it's a punishment for Islam crackdown by the Chinese government
Lies! There's no punishment for anything, there have been far worse epidemics in History! Google is your friend.
The Black death killed over 50million people, I guess that was a punishment for what too?

On this Convid-19 thing, there are two things involved; it's either that thing is a laboratory error or it was intentionally scientifically generated, if it's the first one then the journey is still far, but if it's the second, then there are two things involved; it's either the powers that be want to depopulate the entire globe (Thanos Style) acording to the New World Order or some Pharmaceutical company want to cash big when they release the vacinne to cure it which I strongly believe they already have. Either way, wahala dey!
the second one ehn. these people have zero empathy.
thats why we have to be very careful in nigeria. so many big names use this insurgency to cash out big time and would never want it to stop.

Exactly, but some people think everything is a joke.
Actually, I think China has done a good job to contain the Virus in Wuhan and it's environs, just one or two cases have been reported in Europe, America. Hopefully it can be put to an end soon.
