However, it doesn't fly with me. Please call this virus by its SCIENTIFIC name, a name that does not carry racial slurs or jokes with it: Covid-19.

Covid19 is NOT it's scientific name.That is the disease you get from the virus. The correct scientific name is SARS-Cov-2, or as it is commonly called by it's place of origin, the Wuhan virus. Just like Zika, Ebola, etc. These are FACTS, not "put-downs".
