Monday

Strange how a Monday can still feel like a quintessential Monday, even in the midst of all of this. Meetings and team dynamics - still the same frustrations.

Let's see if I have semantics right.

COVID-19 is a shortened version of 2019 novel COronaVIrus Disease and describes mainly the disease sweeping the world right now. I've also seen it used to describe the virus itself. (Capital letters to show how the acronym gets its form.)

If we want to be pedantic/correct, SARS-CoV-2 is another label the virus itself, although paradoxically it describes a syndrome within its name. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2. (Capital letters once again as exhibit.) Not to be confused with SARS-1, which is another coronavirus that made news in 2003.

So there's the small lesson for today.
