Is SARS-COV-2 just a different name for Covid 19? I'm getting lost and a little uninterested in all these fancy acronyms etc

Is there a 'clever' name for Flu and pneumonia?
Science people love acronyms to look clever and to be able to write something meaningful on teeny tiny test tubes

As Chris said, COVID-19 is a COronaVIrus Disease discovered in 2019 - the illness basically. The virus which causes it is Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus number 2 - SARS-COV-2
