Sars-Cov-2 is a word used to describe Covid-19, the seventhcoronavirus. SARS found a way to become better into, SARS the Second and then everyone realised that and used that for Covid. Coronavirus was named a Crown Virus so people might falsely assume that it is asserting supreme dominance, but it is not.
Person 1: How bad was Sars-CoV?
Person 2: Not bad
Person 1: And how bad was Sars-CoV-2?
Person 2: A lot :(
Sars II: The reckoning is the second coming of the much loved sars corona virus. Commonly contacted after eating raw bats, or tonguing out an infected pigs rectum, it is still less deadly than living under a communist government. Many people who contract the virus go on to become a Covid plague rat, and many carriers are a Filthy Chinaman.
