No, the popular Mexican beer Corona is not affiliated with the deadly coronavirus that's spreading around the world, and Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ), which owns the Corona brand in the U.S., told Business Insider "We believe, by and large, that consumers understand there's no linkage between the virus and our business."
But Google search terms would beg to disagree. Since the virus began to take on global proportions in the middle of January, online searches for the phrase " beer coronavirus" surged over 3,200% globally while "corona beer virus" rocketed 2,300%. Similar terms that seemingly link the beer brand and the virus have also risen by hundreds of percent since.

In the meantime, back in the *REAL WORLD* this happened:
CDC didn’t want 14 coronavirus patients flown to US—it was overruled
CDC didn’t want 14 coronavirus patients flown to US—it was overruled
which made its rounds on Twitter, such as a post by Bette Midler
#Trump mismanaged the Coronavirus! What happened to the CDC? Another one of his loyalist hacks in charge?? Who are the "American officials" who let the untested sick people off the boat and then put them on a plane behind a sheet? I guess they don't believe in science either.— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) February 23, 2020
and one comment stuck out: Let's make Mar-A-Lago into a CoronaVirus Quarantine Center for the US.
Nothing to joke about - in the meantime I read this, which sort of hits close to my home (I live in Austria):
Coronavirus: Venice Carnival closes as Italy imposes lockdown
In neighbouring Austria, a train from Venice was stopped at the Austrian border after it emerged that two passengers had fever symptoms. Austria's Interior Minister Karl Nehammer later confirmed to the BBC that the pair tested negative for coronavirus.
"All authorities have acted quickly and with great caution in this case," said Mr Nehammer in a statement. "The reporting chain worked without delay."
The BBC's Mark Lowen described the situation just outside the zone.
We’re near the exclusion zone beside #Codogno, the epicentre of #Italy’s #Coronavirus outbreak. Police say if we cross here, we’d need to quarantine and couldn’t leave for some time. A resident told me by phone just one fruit/vegetable shop is open in a town of 16,000 people. pic.twitter.com/lQUnE4GEDT— Mark Lowen (@marklowen) February 23, 2020
