Just movement from suspect to confirmed because they don't have PCR kits

Ok, thank you.

Why be PC and call this something other then what it is. The corona virus. No amount of political correctness will cause the outcome to change. Neither will it make people forget where it came from. 

[Stephen Flynn]

It is what it is, a Coronavirus that arrived in 2019, therefore Covid-19.

"No amount of political correctness will cause the outcome to change."

Actually, in this case, though I often abhor "PC," systematized naming might actually reduce severity.   For instance, the "swine flu," caused a sharp drop  in pork consumption, though pork products have nothing to do with the spread of that disease.  Many think that China has under-reported cases.  Using a name such as the "Wuhan Zombie disease" would likely produce under-reporting by the name alone.

The 1918 Spanish Influenza did not start in Spain.  In that case, since the first known case was reported at a military base in Kansas, on March 11, 1918, perhaps it should have been named the American Killer disease....
