Since Covid-19 stands for "Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019" why aren't the new ones indicated by year?

PS- Yes...I am drinking but I'm NOT drunk yet

Because they are all mutations of the same original virus.

Just cause you and your grandparents aren’t identical doesn’t mean you are from a different family.

What if you have two variants in the same calendar year?

The correct terminology of this disease you are referring to is the South African variant of the Wuhan flu.

Because OMICRON is much scarier than 21

Because it needs to be named for its origin and the origin was in 2019 and all subsequent strains were variants of the original 2019 virus

It is actually SARS-CoV-2, Covid19 is just marketing by the WHO.

Probably it's not scary enough for the mass herd of society.
