Covid 19 has gone viral. Will it come back again next season as Covid 20?
I did read somewhere today that it might become a annual thing like standard Flu.
Here: Coronavirus may become ‘new flu’ but China ‘can weather’ economic storm

It has already been proven that this is not an artificially engineered virus.

It's the WHO who renamed it, it's noted that ebola was named after a long river as the town of origin didn't want to be associated with this deadly diseaseOriginal Post Deleted

You are right, but there is also a long history of doing what the WHO claim now to be avoiding, which is associating the virus with the geographic point of origin.
What I read previously suggests also that they rushed out the name to preempt SARS-2 (SARS-CoV-2) becoming how it was referred to. I think it’s quite obvious that with the death of Li Wenliang, that aren’t keen to remind people that he had to confess to spreading rumours and their lame defence was that “it was not SARSâ€.
