On February 11, 2020, the WHO (World Health Organisation) announced it had officially renamed what had been known as the 2019 novel coronavirus to COVID-19.

Novel, in addition to being defined as a lengthy book, also means: new and original, not like anything seen before.

Here's the important parts of what it states (in bold text):-

Naming the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the virus that causes it

Official names have been announced for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes. The official names are:

Disease

coronavirus disease
(COVID-19)

Virus

severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2)

As anyone can discern, the name COVID-19 was born on that date and so was the virus name which became SARS-CoV-2 having previously being described as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

But it's complete bollocks because the disease and virus were both known and had been named as COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 at least five years prior during 2015.

Who said so? Public Health England did. Public Health England is a UK government agency: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Health_England

Below is an image of a Public Health England document which highlights those names and the year it was published.

'Ah, Organ, you thick kent, that must be a photoshop job,' someone will be tempted to respond.

But it isn't a hoax. Because that document is hosted at a UK government site that has a UK government URL which kind of suggests it's 100% authentic. What's marked on the image can be found by scrolling to page 4 beneath Single Infections here: https://assets.publishing.service.go...SNfEwlEtitQlqE

The names COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 were patently not created in February 2020. That we know COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 infections were known of and had to be reported before March 2015 in the UK means the WHO had the thick end of five years to commission a vaccine to combat it, which is contrary to the fake news they have been spreading.
