word suggestion: covid

[birdy]

I spend much too much time on Facebook, looking at posts from a wide variety of friends, and see all forms of covid. In spoken casual conversation, though, almost everyone says covic/Covid without the 19.  I don't think this word is going to fade into the background for at least a generation or two - it's had too huge an impact on our lives.

I'll echo what everyone else says. Chi has brought a touch of sanity to a totally insane year...

Thanks Alan - even frustration provides a distraction (will 2021 bring the inclusion of covid into the dictionary???)

Perhaps I was being prescient when I posted this in the Thank you thread to Alan...
