I imagine most of the people reading it made that mistake. I've only ever seen it referred to as COVID-19 or Coronavirus. I assumed SARSCov2 was a more specific name for the virus involved in the early 2000s SARS outbreak.

SARS-CoV2 is the name of the virus for the 2019 Coronavirus. The previous one was just SARS-CoV.
