when the WHO
finalized the names:
COVID-19 and
SARS-CoV-2,
but at this point
you are more likely
to hear the virus referred to
as the βweird somethingβ

As women we are policed for wearing jeans in India or niqabs and sarees in in the west. People need to leave womenβs clothes and women alone. This constant burdening of women anywhere to reject or assimilate to protect cultural or patriarchal insecurities is repulsive.
