Victoria Australia had lost control a month ago with nearly 1000 cases a day at its peak... we beat it back.

They'd probably call it something like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 and call it SARS-CoV-2 for short. Just a guess though.

COVID-19.

The WHO issued virus naming conventions in 2015, and COVID-19 falls within those recommendations:

WHO issues best practices for naming new human infectious diseases

WHO today called on scientists, national authorities and the media to follow best practices in naming new human infectious diseases to minimize unnecessary negative effects on nations, economies and people.

www.who.int

The best practices state that a disease name should consist of generic descriptive terms, based on the symptoms that the disease causes (e.g. respiratory disease, neurologic syndrome, watery diarrhoea) and more specific descriptive terms when robust information is available on how the disease manifests, who it affects, its severity or seasonality (e.g. progressive, juvenile, severe, winter). If the pathogen that causes the disease is known, it should be part of the disease name (e.g. coronavirus, influenza virus, salmonella).

So it is COVID-19. End of story.

Its already named sars-cov-2. (SARS-CoV-2 if you want to follow convention).

Trump Virus is the nickname though, lets make that official.
