Corona’s Nationality

Undeniably there appears to be a certain degree of politics attached with the nomenclature of labeling such fatal diseases. In this regard, decisions are taken at the level of WHO which hosts the international classification of diseases (ICD).The current guidelines for nomenclature have been criticized by a number of scientific organizations. It is the general opinion that by simply giving numbers to alphabetic codes, people at large are unable to appreciate the gravity of the disease. For instance the letters HN denote the genetic size and sequence of the virus Hemagglutinin Neuraminidase.
