- Go to A Vial Of the Coronavirus Was Found In A Trunk In 2003 On Law & Order
I'll have to go watch that. I've always liked watching "Law & Order" (the first ones with Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterston). I'll be watching for coronavirus.

Because there are many coronavirus types, referring to it simply as "coronavirus" is very general. The CDC and World Health Organization (WHO) encourage experts to use COVID-19 when referring to this new disease, a novel (or new) coronavirus that has not previously been seen in humans. In COVID-19, ‘CO’ stands for ‘corona,’ ‘VI’ for ‘virus,’ ‘D’ for disease and 19 indicates the year it was discovered.
Just as the general public has become familiar with this terminology, officials have also begun using SARS-CoV-2 in connection with the recent outbreak. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, shortened to SARS-CoV-2, is actually the virus that causes COVID-19 (the disease). As the name indicates, this virus is genetically related to the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) that caused an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002-2003, however it is not the same virus.

Re: The virus has a close resemblance to SARS-CoV.

Uhhhhh....It was the Sars virus,
A carjacking murder investigation becomes complicated by a SARS outbreak in New York City, and the discovery of medical container with the virus in the stolen car.
Stars:
When was the coronavirus disease first reported?
The outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China (1).
