For those not in the know, Coronavirus Disease 2019 was a contagious diseased caused by SARS-CoV-2; Now you already may be familiar with SARS-CoV-2, but just in case, SARS-CoV-2 refers to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. SARS-CoV-2 (aka severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus) is a strain of coronavirus that causes COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019).
So really, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (aka SARS-CoV-2) is actually the name of the actual virus that causes Corona Disease 2019 (aka COVID-19). However, Covid-19 (caused by SARS-CoV-2) was also caused by 2019 novel coronavirus (aka 2019-nCoV) because the the original name for SARS-CoV-2 (aka secure acute respiratory syndrome corona virus) was indeed 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
SARS-CoV-2 (aka severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus) is a strain of coronavirus that causes COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019).
If you think this is confusing, then imagine you are a human in the year 2020 and someone tells you that you have 2019 novel corona virus. Does that mean you have 2019-nCoV or does it mean you have Coronavirus Disease 2019, which is actually caused by 2019-nCoV (aka 2019 novel coronavirus).
No wonder our population is so frustrated. I was told I needed to get a COVID-19 test, but turns out I needed to get a Coronavirus Disease 2019 test and the whole time, what we really needed to watch out for was getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 (you know, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus).
So, no matter what, it's very important that we understand that if you see the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, aka SARS-CoV-2, previously known as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCov) that we know to associate it directly with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (aka COVID19)
