><i>hCoV-EMC (short for human coronavirus-Erasmus Medical Center)</i><p>I understand that hCoV is a category of virus, but this strikes me as an unusual name. If this becomes a larger problem, people are not going to be calling it hCoV-EMC. hCoV would be incorrect, so would they rather people call it EMC and associate the name of the virus with the name of the medical facility that named it? Nobody called SARS SARS-hCoV, they called it SARS.<p>It just strikes me as an interesting name choice, and perhaps a bit narcissistic on the behalf of the research facility (not that narcissism isn't running rampant through science anyway).
