🧫 @WHO named it #COVID19 the experts strongly believed it should be "SARS-Cov-2" but @DrTedros didn't want to make China mad so he picked a name that didn't stigmatize. It's SARS and had we called it that we would've known how serious it is.
A group of Doctors wrote a public letter stating changing the name would mean confusion on already established research and did a disservice to the public and medical community. @WHO didn't listen.
You can even hear a Chinese doctor slip and say SARS but she quickly corrects herself.
Everyone knew is was SARS in January but were petrified to say it out loud to not cause panic. This tweet is from January 31st, @WHO knew it spread from human-to-human but they lied to the world.
People aren't testing positive for COVID-19, they're testing positive for SARS-CoV-2.
