Is the Delta Strain of COVID 19 - COVID 20? We are not in 'Lockdown' - We are in Homesafe Period' etc

Here is information from ABC News (USA) where it explains COVID-19 has dozens of variants and some come and go Click here . It explains the following:

In these stressful new living times, we have to be told how to live our lives.  Are these rules fair? Well, we will look at the 2 sides of the coin.

  • The delta variant is more contagious than earlier strains of COVID
  • It could cause more serious illness in unvaccinated persons, but scientists don't know for sure.
  • Delta is now the dominant variant in the US and around the globe.
  • COVID vaccines still work against the delta variant.
Reading this article I don't why we don't call it COVID-20, as it started in In December 2020 in India. Funny thing here was we 

Here we had less than a hundred cricketers screaming to come home from India when they volunteered themselves to play in India's IPL Click here. It came to a point where they were being the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison to let them in the country. Did they say 'Thank you' to the PM, when they arrived? Who knows.

My understanding is that the Delta Strain was brought into the country with passengers that came with the Australian Cricketers or just before that period. Although the Australian Prime Minister has been ridiculed Click here for not bringing these players back into Australia quick enough, we have to understand it was the individual choices of the Australian Cricketers that made them decide to travel to India to play in the IPL.

The Delta variant was called Indian variant before and changed name to the Delta variant of COVID-19 Click here for details. That sounds interesting why wasn't the original COVID-19 called Chinese COVID-19 where it originated from?  Most probably that it is was named scientifically not to aim fingers to blame.

One thing that I don't understand is the press and governments providing negative names for situations. For example:

    Covid-19 etiquette: Dos and don'ts to follow during the coronavirus  pandemic | The Star

  •  'Lockdown - really means being 'COVID-19 Homesafe', 
  • 'Covid-19 Check In' to 'COVID-19  Contract Trace Results' 
  •  'Restrictions' to 'Staying safer and well-being guidelines', 
  • 'Covid-19' Test' to ' COVID-19 - Checkup'
  • 'Social Distancing'  to 'Area of Personal Socialising
  • 'QR Code' to ' 'Public Records Code'
  • ' Contract Tracing' to 'Investigating Incident History'

    HOMESAFE
  • 'Outbreak Cases' to ' Number of people affected'
  • 'Currently Hospitalised' to 'Currently in recovery process'
  • 'Active Cases' to 'Alive Cases'
  • 'Locally acquired' to 'Within the region, area, State or Country'
  • 'Vaccinated' to 'immunised'

Anyway, there are many things to think about while we are in a 'COVID-19 Housesafe' period.  Let's start changing the negative words that governments and medical professions call items during this time and change them to more positive words. 

Oh, before I forget, if anyone asks you 'Have you been to any 'hotspots' answer with, ' I've been to all the cold spots' (That's if you have been to no hot spots). It's amazing the reaction That I have got saying that, of recent.
