Covid-19 is the illness associated with the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus.
If one is not ill : then it is not Covid-19.
Same as HIV-positive, is not the same as having Aids.
How do all these terms fit together? "Coronavirus" is a generic term that includes a large family of viruses, similar to saying someone has the flu. SARS-CoV-2 is a specific virus that can cause COVID-19, a disease. As WHO explains, this is similar to differentiating HIV and AIDS — HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. Outlined on their website, "People often know the name of a disease, such as measles, but not the name of the virus that causes it (rubeola)."

Wait a second, Covid-19 is to SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus as HIV is to Aids? Are you sure? I thought Covid-19 means Coronavirus 2019 and SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus is the scientific name.

Sheesh : What now, 6 threads claiming the Trumps have the Covid ?
A positive test result, indicates a positive test for the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus.
This 'supposedly' indicates the presence of the virus in the body.

BTW : it's a yuge scam, them calling all positive tests, as 'cases'.
A medical 'case' : would be the illness, and not the positive test.
But you know : $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
What's the supposed old motto of this site again, that so few seem to adhere-to ?
Hoping for good health, and peace for all.
