DIARY DAY 3

Doom and gloom are inescapable as every day, every hour, brings worse news and more stringent measures to keep the  Coronavirus from spreading. Coronavirus? Maybe three weeks ago, I thought that was something to do with the heart.

More recently, we have been told that if we get the bug, we will suffer from Covid-19. That sounds like a herbicide to me.

Why can’t the people who invent the names for these things come up with something more appropriate? Doctors who provided the defining information about specific diseases, rather surprisingly, gave their names to their chosen Illness. Like Drs Alzheimer, Parkinson and Huntington. Other illnesses have learned Greek or Latin names. Why could they not have called Clovis,  Public Enemy no.1, PE1 for short or Keep Off?
What’s in a word? Quite a lot.

Keep safe, keep well
