meant disease; point stands: IN 2002 the virus was named SARS-CoV and the disease SARS

Yes, and...so what?

There's no consistent relationship between naming of diseases and naming of related viruses, so trying to paint a conspiracy out of the fact that a pattern you've extrapolated from one other example (and which is takes ignoring most every other disease/virus pairing to paint as the normal pattern) wasn't followed is, again, serious tinfoil hat territory.

The actual name of the disease is not SARS-2, nor is there any particular reason it should be.
