Maybe it's a derivative of Covert. Similar sinister undertones...

I reckon it is an acronym for Chinese Origin Virus IDentification, 2019. I believe it was an acronym made up by the World Health Organisation.

 We had been lead to believe the acronym is from CO (Corona) V (virus) ID 19 (2019)

So you parroted your mate's quote? Very original. Maybe your mate should consider moving if he thinks the people of Vic have been at fault.

So it now appears that my choice of words in another topic by referring to the virus as the China Virus is just as accurate as Covid 19 or Corona.
I wonder will those who ridiculed me will now go back and read past the second sentence.

Very interesting.

Angie

Not only my opinion, also fact. Now support your little bunch of emojis and tell us your opinion from afar (put your mate's opinion aside), but please, base it on facts. Tip: you'll need to take into account the findings of the formal inquiry, ironically launched by the great man himself.

 I like it Phillip, very witty, regardless of whether or not it's original.biggrin

As far as civil disobedience is concerned, remind me again which state has seen the greatest amount of protest, unrest, and incitement during the lock down period.

It's certainly good to see Victoria heading in the right direction now.

People need to lighten up a bit.wink
