I edited the source of the name "coronavirus," along with other changes (before I had a username). Anyone disagree? I think the previous editor was referencing Michael Lai (my PhD mentor) in one of his reviews by writing that the word "corona" referred to the sun. Dr. Lai now agrees with me (last time it came up) that it is from the Latin for "crown," especially since that is where the name for the sun's "corona" comes from.

I draw a simplified map of coronavirus replication cycle. Inform me, if there are any mistakes or doubts. --Crenim (talk) 12:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
