CoVid-19 or Coronavirus: are Two Different Words
Let's clarify two important word definitions.
One is the name of the virus.(coronavirus) and one is the name of the disease (CoVid-19) it causes.
Coronavirus - this is the viral organism's name. This is only the virus's name, it's not an illness you can catch.
...It is what you get exposed to from airborne droplets that come from coughs & sneezes.
CoVid-19 - this is the respiratory disease that can develop, if you are exposed to the Coronavirus.
...This is the disease your body might develop if exposed to the virus.
Using the proper words can reduce confusion as the pandemic runs it's course.
Let's do our part to discuss the pandemic using the proper names.

The latter is the specific name for this particular virus. The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses named the new virus severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2, after determining it belonged to the same species as the virus that caused the SARS epidemic of 2002-03, Science reported.
There are many many Coronaviruses, including some that affect only domestic livestock or pets and are not transmitted to humans. Some are causes of the common cold.
That said, I'm not particularly bothered that the lay public is simply referring to it as "Coronavirus"... At least they aren't using racist terms like "Wuhan virus" or even worse, confusing it with "flu"...
