"Chinese coronavirus" is easier to remember than "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus" or "SARS-CoV-2" (or the
previous “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes.

The World Health Organization has taken the responsibility to name the disease, but there's a huge asteri$k in the naming process.
