Day 231 : Etymology of Coronavirus

There is no day that we do not hear "Coronavirus".
A lot of discussions have been around, so I'll leave them to discuss how we are going to deal with this.

I just became curious why it's called Corona.
Is it because its so powerful as corona of Sun??

According to Wikipedia,

The name "coronavirus" is derived from the Latin corona and the Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, "garland, wreath"), meaning crown or halo. The name refers to the characteristic appearance of virions (the infective form of the virus) by electron microscopy, which have a fringe of large, bulbous surface projections creating an image reminiscent of a crown or of a solar corona.

Hmm, I see.

Hoping that it should be deterred with some vaccines, everything's gonna be all set, and we could have our normal and peaceful lives again.
